The chicken, generally regarded as dinner, is offered a chance to proudly strut its stuff in this unusual documentary about the birds and the people who love them. Short stories ranging from the wildly hilarious to the deftly touching present chickens in a new light. Mark Lewis, who previously did the same for cane toads (CANE TOADS: AN UNNATURAL HISTORY) and rats (RAT) is well within his domain here, directing this eccentric, yet loving document of an unheralded species.
