there's blood everywhere
BUT THAT'S THE NAME OF THE GAME. What makes “good food” good? For many, it’s knowing where the food was grown, by whom and most important of all, how. For instance, is it organic? Was it grown locally? Were animals treated well? The question of animal exploitation is often overlooked and one that most people seldom seem to be aware of. When it comes decorated in our plates as the widely loved ‘chicken wings’, it’s hard to stop and wonder what kind of inhumane treatment they might have been subject to. Chickens are among the most abused animals on the planet. Chicken production is one of the biggest causes of animal cruelty and accounts to the largest industrial production of meat. There comes a point where a problem becomes too big to comprehend - the size of the problem does very little to make it more compelling and potent. One classic example of this is the climate change crisis - the vast, overwhelming and complex nature of our warming planet has been a big hurdle for those tasked with convincing the policymakers and the public at large that we need to take urgent action. And the same effect can be seen with animal welfare, specifically chickens and other factory-farmed animals. This project was shot in Bangalore, India, in December 2021.
