Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep, the famed portrait of life in the Watts area of Los Angeles in the 1970s, was recently re-released. In this week's Wisdom Watch, Burnett discusses the perseverance required to finally win an audience for the film.

The film's website: http://www.killerofsheep.com/

I am glad that the film is being re-released and restored, but am annoyed at the limited release of the film. I wish PBS or one of the cable networks would pick this up.

Damn, Yvettep (or have you formerly changed it to Yvette? Do you still eat pork?)

Anyway I cannot find any fault with your post.

Get with it, girl! I have a quota, you know!
