NEW YORK — Playing renowned civil rights activist Dolores Huerta in the new biopic “Cesar Chavez” doesn’t seem to be enough for Rosario Dawson. The actress, who knows and has worked with Huerta, would now like to bring her friend’s life to the screen.

“I hope with the success of this film that there’s an opportunity to tell her story, ‘cause she’s still writing it, she’s still out there on the front lines doing the stuff,” Dawson said in a recent interview.

After appearing in “Chavez,” which opens Friday, Dawson said she was “very much encouraged” to produce a story about Huerta. “I did so much research about her and it was just impossible — a lot of the stuff that we filmed didn’t even make it into the cut,” she said.
