2015 Festival | Un Buen Carnicero (A Good Butcher) PBS Short Film Festival
A good butcher listens. For nearly 18 years Tolo Martinez has manned the counter at Cliff’s Meat Market, learning "country" English to serve college professors, blue-collar workers and long-time patrons alike. Un Buen Carnicero goes behind the courtesies of the butcher's counter to explore how Tolo and Cliff define a changing South still fighting for freedom for all. Presented by UNC-TV.
