Syria · 1977
40m
Director Omar Amiralay
Starring
Genre Documentary, Drama

Through mordant social commentary and symbolic irony, Amiralay focuses this film on the chicken farming industry in the rural Syrian village of Sadad. He documents the burdened livelihoods of farmers and the economic policies of the government that encouraged industrial egg productions rather than artisanal trades, a switch that ultimately led to the plight of the Sadad's rural peasant class.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
