New Orleans premiere of Mississippi Chicken
Mississippi Chicken will make its New Orleans premiere on Saturday, April 12, at the New Orleans International Human Rights Film Festival. It’s playing at 4:00 PM at the Zeitgeist Arts Center. They’re playing a lot of great documentaries this year, including Marcy Garriott’s wonderful Inside the Circle. Check out the entire line-up here.
New Orleans pops up a couple times in Mississippi Chicken, and a couple of the main characters from Mississippi Chicken left Canton after Hurricane Katrina to find work in the clean-up effort in Biloxi, Mississippi. The working conditions they found were even more dangerous and abusive than those in the poultry plants.
Come out to the screening if you’ll be in the New Orleans area!
