The Kill Floor, by Carlos Avila, is a narrative film inspired by the true-life situation that many Latino meat industry workers found themselves in during the early days of the Coronavirus pandemic. Forced to choose between making a living by working in unsafe conditions or to go without income, many workers were forced to choose between their livelihoods and their lives.
