En la década de 1960, su compañía El Teatro Campesino se presentaba sobre plataformas de camiones y ayudó a movilizar a los trabajadores para lograr el primer contrato sindical de los campesinos; además, su obra Zoot Suit fue la primera obra chicana en Broadway. A pesar del rechazo crítico que puso fin a la obra, perseveró y creó La Bamba, un éxito rotundo que retrató auténticamente la vida mexicoamericana ante el mundo.Hoy, en su 60.º aniversario, El Teatro continúa siendo un faro para creadores latinos. Esta es la historia de un artista que dio voz a quienes habían sido ignorados y abrió caminos para futuras generaciones.Ganadora del Premio del Público: Documental de EE.
