Movie description: America is a country built on equality and opportunity - but when equal opportunity is denied, it's time to fight back. That's exactly what a group of Chicano students did when they walked out of their East LA high schools in 1968, sending an unequivocal message to American educators and administrators that endures today. "You're talking about an event that really isn't known that well even though it's the largest high-school student demonstration that we've ever had in the United States of America," quote by Director Edward James Olmos. Co-sponsored by Latinos Unidos and La Casa.
