You’ve heard of dog and horse shows, but are you familiar with the obscure and fascinating, 100-year-old world of rabbit showing?
Rabbit Fever (www.rabbitfever.com) follows a colorful collection of competitors as they strive to win the top title at the 2005 National American Rabbit Breeders Association Convention – an event that draws more than 20,000 rabbits in one building, the largest assemblage of rabbits in the world. While adult members of the rabbit habit compete for Best in Show, the teenage enthusiasts quest for an even more coveted honor in the rabbit community – Rabbit King and Rabbit Queen!
“Although the intense competition drives the film forward to its climax, the heart of Rabbit Fever lies within the passion, charm and sometimes quirkiness of its subjects. You can replace the teens’ love of rabbits with any other hobby or sport, and empathize with their motivation and goals. It’s just another vehicle that young adults use to challenge and express themselves, making Rabbit Fever not only a film about rabbits, but also a very unique coming-of-age story.”
