Whilst most of us know chicken from our
dinner plates, few of us pause to consider this
bird’s many virtues. This new film by Mark
Lewis delightfully discovers how this seemingly
simple animal reveals itself to be as complex
as any of God’s creatures. The stories are
illustrated with narrative vignettes depicting
these birds at their magical best, inspiring
fascination and gentle humour. The film allows
us to rethink our relationship with a creature we
have previously taken for granted, while at the
same time providing a lens by which we look at
ourselves. It is the “natural history” for an
animal like no other.
