November 16, 2017 at 7-8:30PM Park City Film Series showing Dolores
Directed by Peter Bratt
Rated Not Rated, 95 min.
Free Screening
Part of the Reel Community Series
Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change.
Admission is free. Presented in partnership with the Park City Museum as part of the Reel Community Series.
