在这部凯撒·查韦斯传记片中,影片讲述了美国著名的社会活动家凯萨·查维斯（Cesar E Chavez）的生平故事。他是墨西哥裔的美国劳工运动者，联合农场工人联盟的领袖。二十世纪时，他为了给农场季节工人(migrant farm workers：为找工作四处迁徙的人)争取更好的权利和公平的工资而四处奔走，最终取得了全国人民的同情与支持。导演迭戈·鲁纳表示，不仅在农场工人的世界里，在世界各地还有很多人需要像查韦兹一样的伟人来帮助他们。他希望通过这部电影能唤起更多人关注美国移民改革的问题，以及一些国家的许多无代表社区。对于迭戈·鲁纳来说，电影就是一种改编世界的工具，它正在发生，无处不在。
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.
