In 1988, Cesar Chavez embarked on what would be his last act of protest in his remarkable life. Driven in part to pay penance for feeling he had not done enough, Chavez began his "Fast for Life," a 36-day water-only hunger strike, to draw attention to the horrific effects of unfettered pesticide use on farm workers, their families, and their communities. Using never-before-seen footage of Chavez during his fast and testimony from those closest to him, directors Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee weave together the larger story of Chavez's life, vision, and legacy. A deeply religious man, Chavez's moral clarity in organizing and standing with farmworkers at risk of his own life humbled his family, friends, and the world.
Leave your thoughts about Cesar's Last Fast.
| San Antonio Current Kiko MartinezAn adoring and inspirational portrait of one man's "expression of sacrifice in action." |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterChavez (1927-1993), a founder of what became the United Farm Workers union, faced brutal odds, as this compelling documentary demonstrates. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyWhile not necessarily the definitive cinematic account of Chavez’s life or the UFW movement, Cesar’s Last Fast provides a well-crafted, sometimes stirring encapsulation. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisEqually lionizing but richer in detail than the recent Michael Peña-led biopic César Chávez, this occasionally stirring doc portrait of the late Latino labor organizer and civil rights icon frames his legacy around a single act of protest. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenRichard Ray Perez's documentary concerns the myth more than the man. |
| The PlaylistNikola GrozdanovicPerez appears content with representing UFW's past strikes and boycotts like a segment from the History Channel, while having the interviewees—relatives, people who worked closely with Chavez—focus on how much good Chavez has done, rather than how he has impacted them. |
| User ReviewWiebke KWell put together documentary about Cesar Chavez' life, focusing on his final and longest fast. If you are interested in this undertaught chapter of civil rights movement in this country, this is a must-see. |
