Charles Burnett's poetic view of the working poor in the LA ghetto of Watts is widely hailed as a landmark in African-American filmmaking.
Infused with subtle moments of joy and humour and backed by a timeless soundtrack, this neo-realist drama is played out through the eyes of Stan (Henry G. Sanders), a sensitive slaughterhouse worker struggling to cope with the physical and psychological demands of his life.
Cited by the Library of Congress as a 'national treasure', Burnett's film was re-released in 2007 in a new 35mm print restored by UCLA.
"An American masterpiece"
