This beautifully produced New York Times video exposes the hidden costs behind low supermarket chicken prices. It documents the harsh conditions faced by chickens and the economic pressures placed on contract farmers, who often carry the financial risk while corporations reap the rewards. The piece illustrates how the industrial poultry system externalizes suffering and environmental damage in order to keep prices artificially low. (New York Times, subscription required; 2022; 12’)
