I don’t believe that Latinos have to show up automatically for every film that showcases Hispanic themes and/or talent. But if a film has those elements and it is as good and sincere as “Cesar Chavez” (in theaters this Friday, March 28) we all need to support it.

I had a great time speaking with some of the most talented Hispanics in Hollywood today, Michael Peña, America Ferrera, and Mexican director Diego Luna. Watch our exclusive interviews below to know more about them and this inspiring story.

“Chronicling the birth of a modern American movement, Cesar Chavez tells the story of the famed civil rights leader and labor organizer torn between his duties as a husband and father and his commitment to securing a living wage for farm workers. Passionate but soft-spoken, Chavez embraced non-violence as he battled greed and prejudice in his struggle to bring dignity to people. Chavez inspired millions of Americans from all walks of life who never worked on a farm to fight for social justice. His triumphant journey is a remarkable testament to the power of one individual’s ability to change the world.”
