Rat Film
Theo Anthony
Documentary | USA | 2016 | 1h 22min
Across walls, fences, and alleys, rats not only expose our
boundaries of separation but make homes in them. "Rat Film" is a
feature-length documentary that uses the rat—as well as the
humans that love them, live with them, and kill them--to explore
the history of Baltimore. "There's never been a rat problem in
Baltimore, it's always been a people problem".
