Chicken Hawk: Men Who Love Boys is a 1994 award winning documentary produced, written and directed by Adi Sideman and edited to negatively sensationalize the topic. The narrator interviews several members of North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) who discuss their views on sexual relationships between men and boys. The term, "chickenhawk," is often used in gay slang to refer to an older man who chases after younger men. The film describes the organization and its history. Scenes in the movie include a group of NAMBLA members participating in the 1993 March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation. NAMBLA members argue for NAMBLA's inclusion in the gay rights movement, to the disapproval of other attendees. Poet and free speech advocate Allen Ginsberg, NAMBLA's most famous member and defender, appeared in the documentary and read a "graphic ode to youth".[1]

Scenes in the movie include following 4 outspoken NAMBLA members: Leyland Stevenson, Renatto Corazzo, Peter Melzer and Chuck Dodson.
