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.

From the Publisher

At their best, screenplays are one of the most dynamic and immediate forms of literature. The screenplay is the blueprint of a film, and it’s the writing, above all, that attracts the director, the stars, and the money. This handsome series of books from ScreenPress presents some of the best writing in contemporary film.
