This home movie captures scenes of a Chicano protest rally in Kingsville, likely a student walkout held in 1969, followed by scenes of Rebecca Avena learning to swim. UFW and La Raza flags hang around a makeshift stage where speakers, including MAYO founder José Angel Gutiérrez and San Antonio Judge Albert A. Peña, are seen speaking to the young, responsive crowd. Following are scenes of Rebecca Avena as a toddler floating in a swimming pool with her mother.
