After watching the PBS Documentary Cesar Chavez and the UFW Grape Boycott I have learned the many struggles and determination that the Chicanos showed to help construct and create a better living for each and every one of the Immigrant families. Throughout the video there were testimonies and stories of how the Immigrant workers were being treated until and throughout the boycotts to get better wages. For example, a woman was asked how much she was being paid and if her child would become a field worker just like her. She stated that she was payed 2 dollars a day and she believed that her child should rather be in school instead of the fields. As the people began to request raises many of them were being threatened
