520    Praised by The Village Voice as the most "clear-eyed 
       account of union organizing on film," The Killing Floor 
       tells the little-known true story of the struggle to build
       an interracial labor union in the Chicago Stockyards. The 
       screenplay by Obie Award-winner Leslie Lee, based on an 
       original story by producer Elsa Rassbach, traces the 
       racial and class conflicts seething in the city's giant 
       slaughterhouses, and the brutal efforts of management to 
       divide the workforce along ethnic lines, which eventually 
       boiled over in the Chicago Race Riot of 1919. The first 
       feature film by director Bill Duke, The Killing Floor 
       premiered on PBS' American Playhouse series in 1984 to 
       rave reviews. In 1985, the film was invited to Cannes and 
       won the Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Award. It has 
       been showcased at Lincoln Center and festivals around the 
       world.
