Chicken Town
Two old schoolfriends join forces with an elderly neighbour to fence a shed full of weed, in this sprightly, easy-going British comedy.
Director: Richard Bracewell
Overview
Jayce is a young man just released from prison after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. Broke and returning to his dead-end hometown in East Anglia, he teams up with an old schoolfriend, and Kev, an elderly neighbour, to fence a shed full of weed grown on the old man’s allotment. Together, they form an alliance of age and youth - an unlikely partnership of the forgetful and the forgotten.
