Killer of Sheep
(USA/1977/83 min)
Directed by Charles Burnett
Declared a national treasure by the Library of Congress, Killer of Sheep explores the L.A. ghetto of Watts in the mid-’70s through the eyes of Stan, a sensitive dreamer who is growing detached from the psychic toll of working at an abattoir. Due to the expense of the music rights, Killer of Sheep was kept from distribution for three decades, until finally being restored and released in 2007.
