The Chickens

Al-dajaj

1977 • Documentaire de Omar Amiralay

Synopsis : Again, it’s a deeply political, intelligent portrait of rural Syrian life under the Ba’athist regime; it remains banned and even if you are not familiar with Syrian politics you’ll sense why – what kind of regime would like to have soundtracks from its political rallies and slogans dubbed over shots of chickens relentlessly, mindlessly pecking away at grain !
