The precursor of KILLER OF SHEEP filmed while Burnett was a student, about an African American family and their unemployed friends in South Central Los Angeles. "We had students make movies about their experience," says Burnett. "It wasn't this Hollywood kind of thing or self-indulgent, but about a political experience."
Restored by UCLA.
