 in the streets drew in the entire community and ultimately transformed 
 Watsonville.\n\nCo-sponsors: Watsonville Film Festival, Cabrillo

 Huelga\n(Jon Silver, 2025, 6 min, USA)\n\nThis short film features sisters 
 Blanca and Wendy, and their mother Sylvia, a former cannery worker and 
 veteran of the historic Watsonville Cannery Strike. Sylvia reflects on her

 shaped their own paths to become educators and continue the legacy of the 
 Cannery Strike by empowering future generations.\n\nSpeakers: filmmaker Jon
