Screening of SONG FOR CESAR

  • The Berkeley FILM Foundation 2600 10th Street, Suite 427 Berkeley, CA 94710 United States (map)

Join us once again at The New Parkway Theatre in Oakland for a screening of BFF grant winner SONG FOR CESAR directed by Andres Alegria and Abel Sanchez.

A Song for Cesar presents a previously untold story of the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez and the farmworker movement. Through interviews, performances, stunning archival footage and photographs, and a rich original soundtrack, the film features the musicians and artists – including Joan Baez, Maya Angelou, and Carlos Santana, among others – who dedicated their time, creativity, and even reputations to peacefully advance Cesar Chavez’s movement to gain equality and justice for America’s struggling farmworkers.

This will be a very special event, so please share with your friends, family and colleagues! Director Andres Alegria will be in attendance for a post-film conversation. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased here: https://ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/11104?siteToken=y62bhsm2h1sfp48nzexbtnm2wg
