Walkout

A powerful, informative, inspirational, factually inspired, 2006 film by James Edward Olmos in which a spunky high school senior (Alex Vaga) helps to rally other students (Yancey Arias, Fidel Gomez, Tonantzin Esparza, Jeremy Ray Valdez, Laura Harring, Efren Ramirez, Bodie Olmos, et al.) with the help of a supportive teacher (Michael Peña) to stage a mass walkout in 1968 to protest unfair practices and treatment of Latino students in East Los Angeles.
