"Killer of Sheep" is a landmark American independent film directed by Charles Burnett that will be screening at The Beverly Theater. This 1978 neo-realist masterpiece, often cited as one of the most significant films of its era, depicts the life of a slaughterhouse worker in Watts, Los Angeles, as he struggles with the psychological toll of his job while raising his family. The film's honest portrayal of urban African-American life, complemented by its striking black and white cinematography and soulful soundtrack, earned it a place in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

The Beverly Theater, a cultural cornerstone in downtown Las Vegas's Arts District, provides an ideal setting for experiencing this influential work of cinema. This rare screening offers Las Vegas audiences the opportunity to appreciate a film that critics have hailed as a poetic and unflinching look at working-class America, presented with remarkable authenticity and emotional resonance.
