From http://www.delanomanongs.com/about:

The Delano Manongs tells the story of farm labor organizer Larry Itliong and a group of Filipino farm workers who instigated one of the American farm labor movement’s finest hours – The Delano Grape Strike of 1965 that brought about the United Farm Workers Union (UFW).

While the movement is known for Cesar Chavez’s leadership and is considered a Chicano movement, Filipinos played a pivotal role that began it all.

Filipino labor organizer, Larry Itliong, five-foot-five cigar-chomping union veteran, organized 1,500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers of Delano, California. For eight days they struck alone, getting thrown out of their labor camp homes, and facing violence from growers’ hired thugs and the sheriff’s department. Yet Larry’s story and the story of the Filipinos and their union-organizing efforts that began in the 1920s have been virtually forgotten. 

Told from Larry Itliong’s perspective, the documentary follows his life as he arrived in the US at age 15 and immediately became involved with Filipino labor unions in the canneries and farm fields on the West Coast. The story of Larry and the Delano Filipinos is a history unknown to most Filipinos in the US.
