THE KILLING FLOOR

Trailer

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. During World War I, impoverished African American father Frank Custer (Damien Leake, Apocalypse Now) leaves his Southern family and heads to Chicago in search of work. After landing a job at one of the city's many slaughterhouses, he gets caught up in the heated debate over organized labor. Before long he emerges as a hypnotic leader, urging his peers to join the union, a move that puts him at odds with his best friend, Thomas (Ernest Rayford, Inside Man), who starts to question Frank's motivations for backing the union. Also starring Alfre Woodard (Star Trek: First Contact) and Dennis Farina (Get Shorty). (1984)
