From pain, anguish, and strife often comes the greatest works of art. This has been true throughout civilization but in certain areas, it was crystalized. Flashpoints of great pain and suffering are marked in human history by great works of art and a strong example of that comes in the art that was born from the fields of toil in California in the 1940s to the 1960s and 1970s, much of it inspired by a man named Cesar Chavez.
The new documentary, Song of Cesar, reflects upon the art that was created while Cesar Chavez led migrant workers from a time where they were criminally exploited to a time when they were finally paid a minimum wage for their work and were given the kinds of protections that should have existed out of simple, human decency and somehow did not.
