A new work by Robert and Donald Kinney USA 2007, Approx 1 hour 38 minutes, B&W PIGS is a surreal horror story about three individuals in the struggle to survive. Within the often romanticized idealism of "life on the farm" family members are pitted against each other; fighting for their own autonomy and the often competing strength of sexual desire. Set in rural America in the early 1960s, this contemporary folktale is an expressive exploration of provincial insularity, sexuality and the law.
Pigs is the story of Allie, a recently widowed woman who, along with her teenage son, Dip, operates a small hog farm in the Midwest. Left with the debts incurred by her deceased husband, Allie fights the opportunistic encroachments of a land-grabbing Sheriff.
Into these bleak circumstances arrives Gray, the brother of Allie's deceased husband. Gray's offers to help out on the farm are refused. When Gray begins to sexually pursue Dip, Allie's efforts to thwart the relationship fail, driving her to desperate ends.
