Causing a Flap was part of a UK based research project ‘Cultural & Scientific Perceptions of Human-Chicken Interaction’, across fields such as archaeology, anthropology and genetics. I worked with researchers to create a documentary presenting a snapshot of their work in a way that would appeal to broader audiences.
We travelled to Ethiopia, Gran Canaria, India, and around the UK to unpick the social significance of chickens as a provider of foodstuffs, economic independence, their use in medicine, competition, and cock-fighting, from their native origins in South East Asia to their global distribution today.
