(1979) dir Charles Burnett w/Henry G. Sanders, Kaycee Moore [83 min]
Legendary American independent filmmaker Charles Burnett serves as the ‘godfather’ for this first edition of the GHETT’OUT FILM FESTIVAL and we kick off with this, his first feature film. Stan works in drudgery at a slaughterhouse and his personal life is drab. Dissatisfaction and ennui keep him unresponsive to the needs of his adoring wife, and he must struggle against influences that could destroy him and his family.
