Cesar's Last Fast is a 2014 American documentary film co-directed and produced by Richard Ray Perez and Lorena Parlee.[1] The film premiered in the U.S. Documentary Competition at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2014.[2]
Before the premiere of the film at Sundance Film Festival, Pivot and Univision News acquired the TV rights to the film. The film will premiere simultaneously in English on Pivot and in Spanish on the Univision Network.[3][4]
The film narrates the events of 1988, when Cesar Chavez began his "Fast for Life," a 36-day water-only hunger strike, to draw attention to the horrific effects of unfettered pesticide use on farm workers, their families, and their communities.[5]
