RAT FILM
Rats have accompanied man since the dawn of civilization, living in the dark, serving as shadowy metaphor for all that is concealed beneath the shiny surface, eking out its hidden existence. In this entertaining filmic essay, Theo Anthony goes on the hunt for the rodents of Baltimore, finding a very human den of power, corruption, poverty and segregation.
