 roduction by producer Elsa Rassbach and Michael Dawson\, Director of the
  Center for the Study of Race\, Politics\, and Culture.\n\nPraised by Th
 e Village Voice as the most “clear-eyed account of union organizing on f
 ilm\," The Killing Floor is a powerful dramatic feature that tells the l
 ittle-known true story of the struggle to build an interracial labor uni
 on in the Chicago Stockyards.  The screenplay by Obie Award-winning scre
 enwriter Leslie Lee traces the racial and class conflicts seething in th
 e 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.  \n\nThe first feature film by directo
 r Bill Duke (A Rage in Harlem\, Sister Act2\, Cemetery Club)\, The Killi
 ng Floor won the Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Award and was invit
 ed to Cannes. The film premiered on PBS' American Playhouse series to ra
 ve reviews and has been showcased at the Lincoln Center and festivals ar
 ound the world. La Revue du Cinema calls the film "a particularly brilli
 ant example of a cinema which knows how to use all the resources of fict
 ion\, without ever allowing its historical documentary side to be marred
 ."\n\nProducer\, journalist and activist Elsa Rassbach began work with a
  team of historians on a multi-part series on labor history for PBS in t
 he 1970s\, ultimately resulting in The Killing Floor in 1984. Currently 
 residing in Berlin\, Rassbach is editing a new documentary and working o
 n the campaign against NATO and other peace projects with War Resisters 
 and CODEPINK in Germany.\n\n(1984\, 16mm\, 118 min)
