This information I received from the Southern Poverty Law Center NEWSLETTER via e-mail. It is another opportunity for everyone to see the struggles of Latinos.

Teaching Tolerance film set for September release
A new documentary film and teaching kit, Viva la Causa!, will show how thousands joined a movement for justice to help the most exploited people in our country — the workers who put food on our tables. The film focuses on the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta, a seminal event in the march for human rights. As racist rhetoric pollutes the immigration debate, the film could not be timelier. Viva la Causa! will teach children that there are non-violent ways to make positive social change. Like all of our Teaching Tolerance materials, the film and kit will be distributed free to classrooms.
