Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy

Mindhouse for Netflix

Editor: Charlie Hawryliw

Charlie Hawryliw has a talent for crafting engaging, character-led documentaries that make serious subjects feel accessible and relatable, particularly when working with charismatic presenters such as comedian Mo Gilligan. 

For his third team up with Mindhouse Productions, Charlie tackles a Netflix feature doc in which Mo takes on ‘Big Chicken’. The comedian travels from the UK to America, investigating the historical, socio-economic and industrial background of the fried chicken industry, all the while challenging himself to only eat fried chicken for 28-days straight. He combines his findings, as well as the results of his experiment to document the impact that the mass consumption of fried chicken has on our health, eating habits and planet.
