A fated meeting with Sam (Adrien Brody), a passionate American activist, leads to a guerilla campaign against their employers. The fight threatens their livelihood, family and risks their expulsion from the country. BREAD AND ROSES is a story about the most marginalized of Los Angeles communities daring to take on their corporate bosses against all odds. BREAD AND ROSES is inspired by the real life "Justice for Janitors" campaign led by immigrant cleaners, mostly women, in LA. Director Ken Loach unravels the events centering his tale on the spirited Latin American community who, with their battle cry of "no justice, no peace", dare to take on the corporate powers and find a sense of dignity. |
