Might be interesting to some of you… there is a story line about a chicken rescued from the dump – garbage from a factory farm.

Mad City Chickens - Film Screening and Policy Dialogue    Wed Oct 14, 2009, Ottawa, ON

If you missed the July screening, this is your chance to see:

MAD CITY CHICKENS
Film screening & policy dialogue

Wednesday October 14th
Saint Paul’s University Auditorium (223 Main Street)
Doors open at 6:30pm, film starts at 7pm
Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $5
Presented by the Reel Food Film Festival

Mad City Chickens is a sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious look at the people who keep urban chickens in their backyards. From chicken experts and authors to a rescued landfill hen or an inexperienced family that decides to take the poultry plunge—and even a mad scientist and giant hen taking to the streets—it’s a humorous and heartfelt trip through the world of backyard chickendom. Film is 80 minutes long.

A policy dialogue will follow the film screening. We will be seeking comments, thoughts, and ideas about raising livestock (including chickens) in urban Ottawa. The dialogue will be incorporated into a Just Food project called Food Secure Ottawa. Food Secure Ottawa is a 2 year project that will be making municipal policy recommendations aimed at improving people’s access to foods in Ottawa. We look forward to hearing from you!
