About Billy Woodberry
Billy Woodberry directed Bless Their Little Hearts, a black-and-white portrait of Charlie Banks, an unemployed Watts father taking day labor while wife Andais keeps the home. Shot with Charles Burnett writing in 1984, the film plays in patient job lines.
Woodberry also made shorts and taught film while preserving LA Rebellion works. Watching the feature in full shows his street-corner framing without rushing to plot. The film stands alone, so no series order exists beyond giving its unemployment middle the same weight as its tender end. Later interviews about Woodberry can be watched after the feature.
Good to know
Watch Bless Their Little Hearts start to finish. The film moves from labor corners to home kitchens in fixed order, so skipping ahead hides how dignity frays. There is no sequel in continuity. New viewers should expect a quiet 1980s pace that rewards patience more than twists. Stay through the slow middle without pausing, since small daily details build toward the tender close.
