Pecking Order (PG)

Documentary

Fierce rivalries, club infighting, problematic birds and irregular judging are just some of the challenges faced by a group of zealous Kiwi chicken breeders hell bent on victory at the 2015 National Poultry Show.

The critical consensus

A sufficiently engaging delve into a niche interest and those who feel defined by it. But one which, narratively at least, backs the wrong gamecock.

A film about a group of in-fighting New Zealand chicken fanciers might not seem an alluring prospect but Slavko Martinov's new documentary is both absorbing and funny.

This quirkily entertaining documentary takes a peek behind the scenes of competitive poultry breeding in New Zealand.
