This list by Food Tank explores inspiring entertainment that shines a light in the global food and agriculture system. With 34 movies, documentaries, or series to watch during the COVID-19, we want to highlight #7, Cesar Chavez. The biographical film reconstructs the emergence of the United Farm Workers (UFW) in the 1960s. Chavez, whose commitment to secure a living wage for farm workers ignited social justice movements across America, is featured in this movie by Participant Media, an organization that helped bring attention to EFI in its earliest stages.
This list serves as a guide to help you learn about large- and small-scale agriculture, the relationship between diet and health, and the social and cultural implications of the food system; and they may even inspire you to advocate for a more equitable food system during and after the pandemic.
