‘돌로레스 우에르타’의 여정은 부당한 처우 속의 노동자들을 돕고자 했던, 순수한 마음에서 시작되었다. 춤과 음악에 대한 열정을 뒤로 한 채, 돌로레스는 1962년 농장노동자조합(UFW)을 공동 설립하고, 연합의 핵심인물로서 여러 활동의 중심에 섰다. 이 다큐멘터리는 반세기에 걸친 지대한 영향력에도 불구하고 크게 조명되지 못했던 돌로레스의 발자취를 따라갈 뿐만 아니라, 여성으로서 그녀가 마주해야 했던 딜레마를 보여준다.

Three muralists (one Chicano, one Black, one American Indian) and the socially-maladjusted cousin of the Chicano muralist set off on a road trip with the intent of painting their images on the White House. Along the way they meet a mysterious Black woman.
