In the midst of the 1960s, an era marked by civil unrest and the fight for equality across the United States, a Mexican-American farm worker steps forward as the voice of a forgotten workforce. Fueled by the sheer injustice of the working conditions faced by farm laborers, not only in terms of pay but also the lack of basic human rights, he becomes a beacon of hope for the underrepresented and overworked agricultural community. With a deep resolve to bring change, he initiates a groundbreaking movement that seeks not just to negotiate better wages but to alter the very fabric of labor rights in the agricultural sector.

Embarking on this journey, he harnesses the unyielding power of nonviolent resistance, a tactic inspired by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. The movement quickly gains momentum, drawing support from diverse communities and even catching the attention of the national media. Yet, as the stakes rise, so does the resistance from powerful adversaries, including wealthy landowners and corporations with vested interests in maintaining the status quo. This confrontation sets the stage for a series of strategic battles that aim to unite farm workers and sympathizers alike against an entrenched system of exploitation, aiming to achieve justice and equality for a marginalized workforce on the fringes of American society.
