Chickens in the City
Christie Herring, USA, documentary, 7 min., 2004

Canadian Premiere

What if all the zoos opened their gates and we had elephants chilling in swimming pool condos? Jumanji fantasies aside, this quirky little doc takes a look at people who live in the big city and raise chickens. These dusty, clucky farm animals can turn your city into a global village. –
