Mo Gilligan: Big Chicken - A Fast Food Conspiracy | Preview (Netflix)

Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy is produced by the award-winning production company Mindhouse (Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere) and follows Mo Gilligan in his first documentary for Netflix as he investigates our global fried chicken obsession - and the hidden costs behind our cravings.

A self-proclaimed lover of the food, Mo puts his body to the test in a bold experiment by eating fried chicken 3 times a day for 28 days straight. Over the course of the month, he embarks on an eye-opening journey from South London to the United States to reveal the historical origins of fried chicken and the social, economic and industrial forces driving our mass consumption of it - from fast-food chains to large-scale farming - and the impact on our health, our planet and the way we eat.

As a Black British comedian, Mo also seeks to reframe perceptions of the dish by confronting negative stereotypes associated with it, examining how it's been culturally appropriated and advertised in today's market.

Uncovering shocking revelations along the way, Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy encourages Mo to reckon with the unsettling realities behind his favourite takeaway, sparking greater curiosity about the origins of our food and a more informed approach to the choices we make about what we eat.

Mo Gilligan: Big Chicken - A Fast Food Conspiracy lands Wednesday 5th August on Netflix.
