This film is a ‘documation’ – a documentary and animated story told concurrently. It is based on a true story, and set on the Kapiti Coast in 2001. A rooster is adopted by a local kindergarten, helping to teach the children about empathy. The rooster is upsetting the neighbours with his early-morning crowing so noise control is called in, and the rooster pays the price for keeping the neighbours awake. Cleverly told through interviews, news clips, live action and animation, this story by writer/director Phill Simmonds is about what happens to a rooster that is too loud.
