An edit!


Chicken Thieves (1897)

Directed by James H. White this is a very early short film. Two black men steal chickens and get shot at by a white farmer.

This early film is probably only notable for having an edit in it, just the one but an edit none the less. Questionable in content there is not a lot to see here and given the film runs less than a minute that is not really a surprise. No doubt one for historical record rather than viewing pleasure.

2/5
