Easy Way Out (1971)

Creator: A/V Geeks 16mm Films

Description: The film explores the concept of struggle and growth through the metaphor of hatching chicks. It contrasts two trays of eggs: one where chicks are helped to hatch easily and another where they hatch on their own. The struggle during hatching is essential for developing strength and vitality, as it prepares the chicks for survival. The narrative suggests that while seeking an easy way out may seem appealing, it ultimately hinders the development of necessary skills and resilience for facing future challenges. Keywords struggle, growth, hatching, chicks, development, resilience, survival, easy way out
