After mishandling a medical emergency he witnesses on the streets of New York City, a young Japanese immigrant cannot bring himself to butcher the live chicken he bought for dinner. Adapted from a short story by Naoya Shiga, Neo Sora’s THE CHICKEN expands on the ways that structural violence insidiously permeates daily life.
