3/5

The goal of these type of documentaries is always, as Gilligan says at the finish, to “start a conversation”. Big Chicken certainly does that, but it’s always the same conversation that leads to the same conclusions: eat less meat.

3.5/5

There’s nothing in Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy that you didn’t know or haven’t seen before, but the delivery mechanism feels more organic and honest than they usually do.
