Review of Dolores (2017) by Lupe P — 07 Oct 2017

The footage and commentary, done in familiar documentary style story telling were nonetheless expertly blended. Very moving, inspiring and informative movie. ¡Sí, se puede! President Obama first claimed it was Cesar Chavez', but it was Dolores Clara Fernandez Huenta's rallying call for the UFW, which he publicly corrected when he was giving her the Medal of Freedom.

She has got to be one of the most unsung heroes of modern social environmental activism. The fact that she was voted out of so many history curricula around the country is a sad testimony to the grip sexism and racism still has on our culture.

Fortunately, her story will continue to be told, despite this fearful censorship by the white, post colonial, patriarchal establishment. They have good reason you fear her. Their paradigm is collapsing around them thanks to the dedication and sacrifice of this heroin.
