Confrontations between strikers and the police were broadcast on the national news, and a visit and announcement of support from the United Auto Workers’ president Walter Reuther brought national visibility to Delano in 1967, during the formative Delano grape strike. At the same time newspapers and national magazines published interviews with Chavez and articles and photo essays about the strike, and four documentary films were made about its first year. The films included Decision at Delano (1967), an educational film rented with a study guide; Nosotros Venceremos/We Shall Overcome (1971), an edited compilation of photos set to a soundtrack by photographer and UFW volunteer Jon Lewis; and two different films titled Huelga (1966/68) and produced by Mark Harris (here is a link to the opening of the 1968 film). Harris had started out making a documentary about the Industrial Workers of the World before instead turning to his cinema verite  documentaries about the Delano grape strike, suggesting the internationalist or global context in which the farm workers movement was seen.
