The following description comes from the event organizer.

Shot on a shoestring budget with a largely non-professional cast, Charles Burnett’s legendary feature debut—a keystone movie of the L.A. Rebellion film movement—is a lyrical urban/bucolic portrait of everyday Black working-class life in Los Angeles’s Watts neighborhood, encapsulated by the experiences of 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. One of the first 50 culturally significant films to be preserved in the Library of Congress by the National Film Registry.
