Sandi SisselProduced by Nick Broomfield Cinematography Sandi Sissel Editing by Julian Ware Release date(s) May 1983 (USA) Running time 74 minutes Language English Chicken Ranch is a 1983 documentary film by Nick Broomfield about the famous legalised brothel, the Chicken Ranch, in Pahrump, Nevada.
The documentary, which remains purely observational for the most part, depicts the prostitutes as likeable characters often looking for a way out of the remote location where the brothel is situated. The film shows the girls lining up for potential clients, joking about their job, and interacting with one another within the brothel. The film ends with one girl, Mandy, being fired from the ranch.
