Chicken Town

Jack, a down-on-his-luck farmer from the backcountry, decides to breed fighting roosters to save his farm from foreclosure. His neighbor Maggie, the local sheriff with her own set of troubles, initially turns a blind eye until city crime bosses come sniffing around the town. The year 2025 delivers a tragicomedy about small dreams and big ambitions, where beneath the feathers and clucking lies the raw drama of rural America. The film walks a tightrope between absurd humor and the bitter truth of life, exploring themes of desperation, community, and how far people will go to survive. The scene where Jack explains fight strategy to a rooster named King becomes a simultaneously hilarious and poignant metaphor for his entire existence.
