Bread And Roses

The struggle for fair and just working conditions in the United States has existed as long as there has been one group who would take advantage of the desperation and fear of another. This film from director Ken Loach (The Wind that Shakes the Barley, 2006) is the story of two sisters working as janitors. As undocumented workers from Mexico, they endure hardship and abuses. When a young man (Adrien Brody) comes around attempting to unionize workers, the issue divides the laborers - while dividing Maya and Rosa, as well.
