Rat Film
Rats, maps, & extermination in an American city
Directed by Theo Anthony
Produced by MEMORY
A cerebral, essayistic documentary that uses rats as a lens to examine urban boundaries, segregation, and the hidden histories embedded in Baltimore's infrastructure.
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.
