A landmark of American cinema and key work in the LA Black Rebellion movement, Burnett’s Killer of Sheep offers one of the first authentic representations of working-class African Americans in a feature film. Set and shot in Watts in the mid-1970s, the drama follows Stan (Henry G. Sanders), a father trying to support his family and enjoy the simple pleasures they afford him while coping with psychic stress of laboring in a slaughterhouse. (80 mins., DCP)
