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".

I love rats so much, they're so extremely intelligent. You know you can train rats to recognize their own name and do tricks just like a dog? Do you know that rats have a very high sense of empathy and are more likely to share food with other rats than to hoard it for themselves? Rats can recognize pain, fear and joy in another rats expressions and will comfort them and play with them to make them feel better or to reciprocate that joy! Don't ever let anyone tell you rats are dirty, foul animals, because they are just projecting their own dirty, foul minds onto innocent animals.
