A British animated film about a hen and rooster s daring escape from a chicken farm has become an unlikely tool for promoting the Mi kmaw language in Nova Scotia and beyond.
Tom and Carol Anne Johnson from Eskasoni, N.S., along with some of their relatives, overdubbed the 2000 movie
Chicken Run in Mi kmaw about a decade ago. Since then, it s become a cult classic, and they still get requests from people who want to watch it.
