“Moctesuma Esparza describes “Walkout” as the first major feature film depicting the Chicano struggle for equal rights.

“It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for 20 years,” the film’s executive producer said in a phone interview from California.

Esparza joined HBO Films and actor/director Edward James Olmos to produce a dramatic, historical film based on the true story of the Chicano student uprising in East Los Angeles in 1968, where he was among 10,000 high school students who staged walkouts to protest academic prejudice and dire school conditions.”
