- **Event Name**: Docs @ LA Plaza: Singing our way to Freedom (2022) | Free with RSVP
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Singing our way to Freedom chronicles the power of music in creating a new identity and sense of belonging among young Chicana and Chicano students during the Civil Rights movement. As a young man in the 1970s, Ramon “Chunky” Sanchez joined the picket lines in California and became Cesar Chavez’s favorite musician. His journey is a remarkable lens on a time when young Mexican Americans/Chicanas/os became inspired by the social and political changes taking place in the country and organized their own communities to take part in this dramatic moment of social change.

Motivated by the cultural practices within his own community, Chunky learned how to employ humor, honesty, and rhythm to galvanize folks to stand up and speak truth to power. He and his peers were transformed from marginalized rural and urban kids into charismatic social activists who mobilized themselves to change the world, reminding us that the battle for freedom has to be fought anew by every generation. Speakers: Paul Espinosa, director and producer, and Dr. Alma Martinez, actress and director.
