DETAILS

The UC Irvine Labor Center, in partnership with the departments of Chicano Latino Studies, Film & Media Studies, and Urban Planning & Public Policy, invites you to attend a free screening of the documentary American Agitators, with an introduction by award-wining director and producer Raymond Telles. 

The film chronicles the life of Fred Ross, one of the most influential community and labor organizers of the 20th century. Ross helped to train legendary labor activists, such as Dolores Huerta, and developed organizing tactics still used today.
