Chickens in the City | Truly CA

Special | 7m 25sVideo has Closed Captions

A chicken-level view of two backyard coops in San Francisco.

Somewhere beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, the cable cars and the coffee bars, San Francisco is teeming with chickens, but are they pets or are they food? The film playfully explores the ways in which keeping chickens has helped shape the philosophies behind what and how urban chicken-owners eat. Directed by Christie Herring.
