“Luna’s passionate about his new film—not a “bio pic” as much as a conversation starter
Se Fija! Publisher Angela Ortíz sat in on a few roundtables with actress America Ferrera and actor/director Diego Luna. They both talked about the difficulties and successes of doing a film like Cesar Chavez. In the film, Ferrera (Ugly Betty, The Good Wife, Real Women Have Curves) plays Helen Fabela Chávez, Cesar’s wife and an activist in her own right. Luna, who is mostly known for his acting (Elysium, Milk, Y Tu Mamá También) and a few short films he’s directed, is very passionate about his film; he’s said he wanted to make a film for his son, who was born in California, and he found Chavez to be a good subject.
Sit back and listen in on the conversations in the videos below. And remember always, “Sí Se Puede”—Dolores Huerta
