Join us for the second screening in our FILMS FOR WORKERS season, presented in collaboration with International Workers of Great Britain (IWGB). 

In BREAD AND ROSES (Ken Loach, 2000) Maya and Rosa work as cleaners in a downtown office block in Los Angeles. Pay is low and bullying is commonplace. A fated meeting with Sam, a union organiser, leads to an unorthodox and imaginative campaign against their employer.

This film will be subtitled in Spanish and followed by an in-person discussion with IWGB. 

FILMS FOR WORKERS is a season of low-cost cinema for trade union members running at the Rio Cinema from January to February 2026, celebrating worker solidarity and empowerment and exploring labour conditions on screen, as well as creating a space where audience members can take part in discussions of their own working lives.
