Montoya told the press that he suggested the idea to Luna, as a type of "Bat Signal" for everyone to go out and see the film.
The film is based on the life of Mexican-American civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, who fought for farmworkers' rights starting in the late '60s. He was also one of the founding fathers of the UFW.
