I agree that her commitment is not pure, she's already captured by the
Light. 

However, Frenesi is standing in the San Joaquin, "the nation's salad
bowl" and that's where the Action News Team interviews her. She talking
about the repression of Farm Workers in one of the counties in the
valley. Whomever they are, they are poor. And if they are trying to
organize they can't be completely ignorant of the history that is being
made in the valley.   On August 3, 1966, NFWA and AWOC merged under a
charter from the AFL-CIO to form the United Farm Workers Organizing
Committee.  Cesar Chavez was elected director and Larry Itliong of AWOC
was elected assistant director.

Were any of those bottles of wine in the hotel rooms Frenesi slept in,
the one in the fantasy about Weed and Rex, California wines, made with
grapes picked by workers in the valley.
