Bless Their Little Hearts
by Billy Woodberry
Los Angeles... the Watts ghetto. A man, unemployed for months, in search of a theoretical job, for the first time in his life comes up against questions usually brushed aside in the Black American community.
A working wife puts up with his anxieties and at the same time cares for the children.
A man and a woman in a society with preestablished rules, scrupulously respected - a man and a woman on a dramatic collision course with one another.
In his first feature film, Billy Woodberry con firms an unusual sensibility first glimpsed in his short, The Pocket Book. Like other filmmakers in L.A. and the West Coast (Charles Burnett, Larry Clark, Sharon Larkin), Woodberry is part of a cinema on fringes of the Hollywood studios that is in the process of probing deep into an awakening Black America.
