Mexican sisters Maya and Rosa work as cleaners in an LA office block and, after meeting with an impassioned activist, they realise the abuse of the corporate system. They organise a series of protests against their employers and before long are leading a campaign that has caught the city's attention. "Bread and Roses" is based on the real life 'Justice for Janitors' battle and, as you would expect from director Ken Loach, is a powerful and affecting story about the angered voice of the underdog, which never loses sight of the humour and tenderness prevalent in even the most difficult of situations.
