Every year, tens of billions of chickens are bred, exploited, and killed. Most never know kindness. But 150 rescued hens found something different — they found Maria. 🎬 Maria & The Flock tells the story of Dr. Maria Goller, an avian researcher who dedicates her life to caring for the most exploited land animal on earth. Filmed at _animalplace , one of the largest farmed animal sanctuaries in the country, this short documentary reveals the individuality of a species the world has been taught to overlook — and the lasting scars of industrial farming on the lucky few who make it out alive.These birds aren't units of production. They're individuals. And Maria knows every single one of them. 🔗 Watch the full film — link in bio.
