"This had a profound effect on me in my early twenties. A grim but sympathetic portrait of the tough lives of poor immigrant workers in the Chicago meat-packing industry, it was one of the key works that inspired me to make films about ordinary people’s lives."

One of the best docs I can think of, and a very necessary look at sociological issues surrounding America’s beautiful game."
