Description
Shit and Chicks is a peaceful portrait of a farmer in the remote savannah of Northwest Ghana. He uses an age-old technique to feed his chickens. Detached, and seemingly unnoticed by the farmer, the camera registers the man's activities. Initially, it is hard to tell what exactly he is doing, but in the end, the pieces come together in a thrilling close-up.
