DELANO MANONGS: Shifting from San Francisco to Oakland, CAAM is excited to conclude the festival with its closing night film, DELANO MANONGS, at the New Parkway Theater, a new CAAMFest venue. Directed by Marissa Aroy, the documentary tells the overlooked story of the Filipino leader Larry Itliong and how he helped rally the thousands of Filipino and Chicano farmworkers that led to the Delano Grape Strike of 1965 and the creation of the United Farm Workers Union. The labor movement garnered national attention and embedded Itliongs legacy in Filipino American history. In celebration of the culmination of CAAMFest 2014 and our first year in Oakland, the closing night party will take place at Vessel Gallery. Come join us as we toast another wonderful year of CAAMFest at one of the most beautiful modern art spaces in downtown Oakland.
