Compelling and corrective, Dolores unearths overlooked history to spotlight one of activism's most powerful -- and often forgotten -- voices, Dolores Huerta.

Peter Keough

Boston Globe

[Peter Bratt] deftly edits together archival footage and interviews with Huerta's children, co-workers, collaborators, and Huerta herself. He backs it with a jazz and salsa soundtrack and tells the story with zest and clarity.

Dan Scully

Cinema76

Using a mix of talking heads and an unprecedented amount of on-the-front-lines footage, Bratt has created a compelling, joyous documentary that takes pains to avoid the hagiographic leanings of similar films.
