Coming in June: When Pigs Fly

Film Arts Foundation is excited to announce our June True Stories. Join us on Wednesday June 20 when we will be screening When Pigs Fly, by Phyllis Redman and Eric Breitenbach.

One quadriplegic, 20 acres and 700 pigs are the setting for this film that probes the complicated relationships that emerge when fate and obsession converge upon a family. When Pigs Fly provides an unflinching look at a family coping with one member's physical disability and increasingly eccentric behavior. Individual rights of self-determination are raised as the Yazurlo family walks the fine line between love and obsession, passion and madness. Three years in the making, When Pigs Fly is alternately heartwarming and heart wrenching, and in the words of one reviewer "absolutely contradictory and maddening."
