"I owe my life to Fred Ross. He completely turned my life around. Bringing Fred's life to the screen is the medicine our society needs right now. He empowered people to be engaged in the democratic process."
— Dolores Huerta, Co-founder of United Farm Workers
Forged in the twin tragedies of the Dust Bowl and WWII, Fred Ross developed the strategies that would come to define American grassroots movements. Steeped in deep community engagement typified by small house meetings or even one-on-one conversations, Ross provided the blueprint still used by organizations to this day.
American Agitators celebrates the life and work of this foundational figure whose vision has helped to improve the lives of millions. Tracking the reverberations of his work into the present day, the film is a testament to the power truly democratic movements have to combat injustice, and offers inspiration for those eager to effect meaningful and lasting change.
