Si bien el movimiento suele asociarse con César Chávez y se considera una iniciativa liderada por chicanos, los filipinos desempeñaron un papel fundamental. Itliong, un experimentado sindicalista, movilizó a un grupo de 1500 trabajadores filipinos para declararse en huelga contra los viticultores de Delano, California, lo que desencadenó una colaboración multiétnica entre filipinos, chicanos y trabajadores de otras etnias que perduró durante años.Tras la proyección, disfruta de una mesa redonda con la directora de la película, Maríssa Aroy; Dillon Delvo, cofundador y director ejecutivo de Little Manila Rising; y Sam Vong, curador de ¿Cómo puedes olvidarme?
