They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969)
Masterpiece

Depression, inhumanity and failure, they all lead to a feeling of despair and a sense that there is not much to continue fighting for. Why humans shouldn't have their pain diminished in the same manner horses do when they are hurt?
A dance marathon, presented also as a horse racing competition where the contestants have to fight for a prize enduring unimaginable conditions while others participate in the audience just to feel a little less miserable with their own lifes. It is also a reflection on how reality TV shows are today, everyone looking for some sort of ''entertainment''.
