Chickens can Fly

Pieter discovered at a very young age that “the world he found himself in was not a comfortable one”. At around the age of four he decided that this life was not for him so he began creating another world for himself – in pictures. This documentary follows the life path of Pieter van der Westhuizen. It displays his great talent and his extraordinary adaption to a life that was not without challenges - his fascination with Israel, his failed marriages and the influence that his life tragedies had on creating the world that he chose to escape to through his art.
