Pen Up the Pigs

About This Movie

'Pen Up the Pigs' is something really unique. It's a handcrafted collage animation that dives deep into themes like slavery, institutionalized racism, and mass incarceration. The visual style is striking—chromatic, almost kaleidoscopic. You feel the weight of history mixed with a revolutionary spirit that pulses through every frame. It’s not just the visuals, but the pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to reflect on the complex narratives it presents. A noteworthy exploration of radical collective power that brings a very distinctive voice to the animation realm.

'Pen Up the Pigs' remains a rarity in the animation world. As a handcrafted piece, it holds a unique place, especially given its thematic depth and artistic execution. It hasn’t seen a wide distribution, making it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The scarcity and the compelling subject matter make it a noteworthy addition for anyone interested in politically charged animation.
