Killer of Sheep (Documentary)
Charles Burnett's critically acclaimed film, set in South Central Los Angeles, stars Henry Gayle Sanders as Stan, an abbatoir worker. Married with two children, he is distant from his wife, preferring instead to help a friend fix his car up. In following this quest, Burnett draws on a rich cast of characters, showing the lives they live with dreams and ambitions which are crushed by lack of opportunity. The film was made by Burnett for his master's thesis at the UCLA film school but couldn't be shown until recently because he initially couldn't afford to clear the rights to the soundtrack.
