The Killing Chain

Brit Bunkley / New Zealand / 2021 / World Premiere / 5 min.


synopsis

Closed New Zealand’s freezing plants have become ruins with wildlife growing through them. Once they were used by the country’s dominant industry processing livestock into meat and other products, but the industry has been in decline since Britain joined the EEC. Animation permeates the documentary film, with workers arising from archive footages.
