CAUSING A FLAP
Causing a Flap was a research project led by a network of UK universities, across fields such as Archaeology, Anthropology and Genetics. We worked together to create a documentary exploring the role of chickens in societies around the world. 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.
Outputs
30 minute documentary; this human interest film was to ensure the research project was accessible to broader audiences
4 short promo videos; documenting associated outreach activity such as events and training.
7 research videos; capturing the depth of the research for use by other academics
