(2000) Bread and Roses
DRAMA
A common theme of the middle class director, Ken Loach depicting illegal immigration rights and their right to form a union. Starring Pilar Padilla as Maya employed as a maid at a high class hotel, crossing paths with Sam (Adrien Brody) attempting to form an union within the janitor workers of the hotel. Bringing along with this protest is Pilar's sister, Rosa played by Elpidia Carrillo.
This is kind of an updated version of "Norma Rae", as most jobs are low pay with long hours and can be put in the position to be fired for the smallest thing. What is unusual, is the American setting as director, Ken Loach is most known for portraying citizen life of Ireland, Scotland and the UK.
