Chicken

Chicken is a 2015 British drama film directed by Joe Stephenson. It is based on the play of the same name by Freddie Machin. Plot The film follows Richard (Scott Chambers), a fifteen-year-old boy with learning difficulties who lives in a shabby caravan with his older brother, Polly. Life for the siblings is harsh, with the engaging, nature-loving teenager yearning for stability. Richard frequently finds himself on the wrong side of Polly's destructive, often violent moods. Richard finds it easier to communicate with animals – none more so than his beloved hen, Fiona. He forms a strong friendship with rebellious seventeen-year-old Annabel, whose family have recently acquired the farmland on which the brothers live. A growing conflict with the new landowners will lead to a situation that severely tests Richard's natural optimism, as the world of privilege collides with the brothers' precarious, marginalized existence. In recent adaptations of the film, they removed the section of the film where the disabled kid ate a dead chicken
