The primary subject of the film “Chicken a la Carte” is poverty. It is clear the intention of the producer is to give the audience an understanding and insight into the lives of those less fortunate. The distribution of this film is through the internet, and as it is a cause film the implied target audience is anyone who has access to the film as the producer is trying to get the subject, or cause, of the film to reach as many people as possible. The key character of the film is the worker in the restaurant as you follow the poverty of his family. The setting of the fast food restaurant and the small village where he lives casts a large contrast in regards to each other, reflecting the narrative of poverty. The slow soundtrack creates a sympathetic air to the film and allows the audience to watch the drama/documentary and draw their own conclusions to what they see. Although the film creates a harsh sense of reality the certification would not be very high, perhaps a PG, as the film does not cover any of the issues the BBFC finds worrying, such as sex or violence.
