Ratty: The Downfall of The NYC Rats (2025)

Ratty: The Downfall of NYC Rats is an observational documentary that explores the lives of New York City's often-feared rats. Using street interviews, historical footage, and perspectives from groups like SenesTech, Positive Pest Management, and PETA, the film examines efforts to manage the rat population. It questions whether solutions come from individual action or from city authorities and sanitation departments. A humorous animated rat character guides the narrative. The documentary considers if a new rat birth control program will succeed, or if it will be just another unsuccessful attempt at control.
