While true that "Di Giorgio...ultimately won in the courts", that was ten years later, when the film was used in a different context. by a different union. The first settlement was out of court, at the time of the strike, in 1950. Also, while Galarza's account was essential, a more comprehensive version is in Richard Street's recent book, Everyone Had Cameras: Photography and Farmworkers in California, 1850-2000."

@fglass1934 Thanks Fred! I was not aware of Richard Street's new book. His "Beasts of the Field" has been a useful reference and research tool for me.
