''Bread and Roses'' is a 2000 drama film directed by Ken Loach, starring Adrien Brody. The plot deals with the struggle of poorly paid janitorial workers in Los Angeles and their fight for better working conditions and the right to unionize. It is based on the "Justice for Janitors" campaign of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).〔(Bread and Roses Foreword'' ), SEIU President Andrew L. Stern〕 The film is critical of inequalities in the United States. Health insurance in particular is highlighted and it is also stated in the film that the pay of cleaners and other low paying jobs has declined in recent years. The film's name, "Bread and Roses", derives from the 1912 textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Though the phrase comes from a 1911 poem by James Oppenheim (which was, in turn, based on a speech given by Rose Schneiderman), it is commonly associated with the Lawrence strike, which united dozens of immigrant communities, led to a large extent by women, under the leadership of the Industrial Workers of the World. ==Cast== * Pilar Padilla as Maya * Adrien Brody as Sam Shapiro * Elpidia Carrillo as Rosa * Jack McGee as Bert * Monica Rivas as Simona * Frank Davila as Luis * Lillian Hurst as Anna * Mayron Payes as Ben * Maria Orellana as Berta * Melody Garrett as Cynthia * Gigi Jackman as Dolores * Beverly Reynolds as Ella * Eloy Mendez as Juan * Elena Antonenko as Maria * Olga Gorelik as Olga * George Lopez as Perez ;Uncredited party guests * Tim Roth * Ron Perlman * William Atherton * Vanessa Angel * Benicio del Toro * Oded Fehr * Chris Penn * Robin Tunney 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bread and Roses (2000 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
