DESCRIPTION:
|
Bread & Roses
Los Angeles, a city of ten million people, is home to some of the world's most recognizable faces. However, the actors that play some of the most necessary roles live in marginalized public obscurity. At the end of tthe 20th century, a dedicated group of union organizers set out to correct this imbalance. Bread & Roses, starring Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody, dramatizes the victorious struggle of the Justice for Janitors campaign and sheds light on another sector of L.A.'s "invisible people."
