“This movie was as accurate and as realistic as it could be when packing many years of struggle into 100 minutes. There are many lessons to be learned from La Causa. I just hope that young people see it, learn from it and connect it to todayu0026#39;s struggles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome uninformed people may feel that Michael Penau0026#39;s acting is weak..that couldnu0026#39;t be further from the truth. Pena portrayed Cesar the way he was…soft-spoken and undramatic. That was the amazing thing.. Cesar Chavez was driven by his passion for justice. He was not a politician. He was not an eloquent public speaker. Yet he inspired millions to boycott, march, strike, struggle because his cause was so moral, so real, so grass roots.”
