Bread and Roses di Ken Loach - Festa del Cinema in Libertà 2026

**Bread and Roses** *by Ken Loach* - (original version - Italian subtitles)
Maya, a young Mexican who has immigrated illegally to Los Angeles, finds work as a cleaner thanks to her sister Rosa, who is already employed by a company that exploits workers without rights and protections. Her encounter with Sam, a combative unionist, encourages her to join the fight for workers' rights, putting herself and her family at risk.

**PROGRAM FOR THE FESTIVAL OF CINEMA IN FREEDOM**
On June 16, 2026, L'ARMATA BRANCALEONE reopens for the summer at the ExpostModerno arena, where the **FESTIVAL OF CINEMA IN FREEDOM 2026** will take place.
During the festival, feature films and short films for young people and adults will be presented, and numerous meetings between authors and the audience will be organized. All of this will take place as part of a series of weekly events that will accompany you throughout the summer, until about mid-September.
This is an experiment in a participatory showcase in which various associations and more come together to create a series of screenings for everyone, including your little ones. The Arena is also Pet Friendly!
We, the volunteers, will be in the arena to welcome you alongside the many organizations that have chosen to collaborate with us:
