Unboxing video for both Hero On the Front and The Killing Floor. Details of the films below.
Hero On The Front Details: An Allied soldier, stranded behind enemy lines during the La Lys battle in 1918 during World War I, struggles by himself through dozens of German offensives so he can guarantee the safety of his companions. Based on the true story of Private Milhões. Starring: João Arrais, Lúcia Moniz, Miguel Borges, Ivo Canelas The Killing Floor Details: Praised by The New Yorker as "a revelatory historical drama" and by The Village Voice as the most “clear-eyed account of union organizing on film,” THE KILLING FLOOR (1984/1985) is the first feature film directed by Bill Duke and explores a little-known true story of an African American migrant in his struggle to help build an interracial union in the Chicago Stockyards. The screenplay by Obie Award-winner Leslie Lee is from an original story by producer Elsa Rassbach and is based on actual characters and events, tracing ethnic and class conflicts seething in the city’s giant slaughterhouses, when management efforts to divide the workforce fuel racial tensions that erupt in the deadly Chicago Race Riot of 1919. Director: Bill Duke Starring: Damien Leake, Alfre Woodard, Moses Gunn, Clarence Felder
