<p>An exploration of Ken Loach's cinema of social conscience. One of Britain's most distinguished and respected filmmakers, he makes tough, uncompromising films about a beleaguered working class -- but with poetry and humor.</p>
<p>Honored by every major British and European award for his films of the nineties (Ladybird, Ladybird; Land and Freedom; Raining Stones; Riff-Raff; The Flickering Flame and Carla's Song), Loach initially changed the face of British politics in the 1960's with a devastating television series on the homeless. Most recently he has stirred furious debate among the Spanish with Land and Freedom, his 1995 film on the Spanish Civil War.</p>

In this emotionally–charged screenplay, Paul Laverty’s third collaboration with director Ken Loach, the writer explores the most marginalized of LA communities. “Bread and Roses” is a look at “the other America” as seen through the eyes of Maya, a young Mexican woman who’s been smuggled across the border to join her sister Rosa in Los Angeles. Against Rosa’s wishes, Maya takes a cleaning job at a prestigious downtown office block, where she begins to confront the realities of life on the edges of American society. The arrival of Sam, a dedicated and uncompromising union organizer who’s determined to improve the lot of the workers, sets in motion a series of events that has devastating consequences for them all.
