PBS Aired ‘Rat Film’ Documentary About Baltimore’s Rodent Problem in 2018
More than a year before Donald Trump criticized Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) in a tweet on Saturday for ignoring his Baltimore district’s “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess,” PBS aired a documentary titled Rat Film about the city’s rodent problem.
The Baltimore Sun reported on February 26, 2018, that the documentary “about Baltimore’s rodent fight” was scheduled “to air on PBS” that evening:
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.”
“Rat Film,” a documentary that takes the decades-long fight waged against Baltimore’s rat population and uses it as a lens through which to look at how the city has addressed myriad social issues over the decades, airs tonight on PBS.
The hour-long documentary from Baltimore filmmaker Theo Anthony, a crowd favorite at last May’s Maryland Film Festival, airs at 10 p.m. on Maryland Public Television as the latest episode of PBS’s “Independent Lens” series. It repeats at 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.
A longer version of Anthony’s film played festival, as well as at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway in September. In chronicling Baltimore’s decades-long battle against its unwelcome rodent population, Anthony details some disturbing parallels with the ways city leaders have tried to deal with various urban situations.
The Sun reviewed the documentary in an article titled “‘Rat Film’ highlights Baltimore’s rat warfare, urban planning failures,” five months earlier in September 2017, four months after it premiered at the Maryland Film Festival: MORE
Baltimore Homicides on Track to Top 300 for 5th Consecutive Year
Breitbart:
Baltimore homicides exceeded 300 each year from 2015 through 2018, and 2019 is on track to cross the 300 threshold for the fifth year in a row.
A 2016 report from the Baltimore Sun showed 344 homicides for the year 2015. A homicides counter maintained by the Sun shows 318 for 2016, 342 for 2017, and 309 for 2018.
As of July 28, the Sun’s counter shows 191 Baltimore homicides for 2019, which means the city is well on its way to surpassing 300 homicides for the year.
USA Today reported that the 342 Baltimore homicides in 2017 represented a “homicide rate of 56 per 100,000 people.” The homicide rate in Chicago was less than half of that, at “24 per 100,000.” more
Anyone on the Left interested in talking about the time when Bernie Sanders called Elijah Cummings’ District a ‘Third World Country’?
Sanders’ 2015 “Third World” comments are not his only statements criticizing the living conditions in Baltimore.

Anyone hear from Cummings over the weekend? Is he on Vacay with Nan?
Abba dabba da dabba da dooda duh.
I notice that The Squad is conspicuously absent from the defense of Elijah Cummings. They must have been told to stay out of it, as their puppetmasters, the Justice Democrats, are planning a primary challenge to Cummings.
I hear they’re making a politically correct version of the movie “Coneheads”.
Trump supporters volunteer and promise to go in next week and start to clean up trash and debrisand displace rats and rodents in Baltimore. Demorat politifilth and leftist scumbags are threatening to attack and beat, even kill, any Trump supporters who come to Baltimore to do anything good or to clean up and improve the shithole. This is all true… not a joke.
Another great week ahead for POTUS Trump and we who support him!
Next up: “Needles and poop: Will Democrats defend them too?”
raemiyah and taquan are good boys with plans to go to college and stuff……… said no one.
Demorats sure like to protect their fellow corrupt racist from the shitholes don’t they. I guess ole Milk Dud came in a close second as the the most corrupt politician in the country, right after Maxine of course.
PBS says Baltimore is a rat infested shithole, crickets.
President Trump parrots it, replying to a political attack from a Baltimore solon, “racist”.
Why didn’t Cummings say: Yes Me President, we would appreciate your help.
President Trump would help, all they gotta do is ask.
They never take the conciliatory route.
It’s a mental disorder.
I’ve always thought the lies the perps tell show up somewhere on their body as something they can’t hide.
Pelosi can’t speak any longer without stuttering and forgetting what she’s talking about. Cummings endless lies are about to erupt from the volcano on top of his head. Muller’s lies scrambled his brain at a critical time and let’s not forget Hillary’s odd head movements and Obama’s stutter along with flies swarming his head while speaking in public.
Perhaps their own evil will be their demise after all.
Meanwhile nothing from the media about cummings subpoenaing every record anywhere about the Trump family. Levin did a great rant about this the other day. Look it up. Facist bastard.
Uh… What’s the – I’m a RINO thinking of running against Trump- governor doing? Is he putting any pressure on Cummings and the city gubmint? If not, why not?
He is an incompetent negro that got elected by telling incompetent negro’s about all the free shit he can get for them but, like gold fish that remember things for only six seconds, they elect him over and over and get nothing while he makes ton’s of money for himself. I think he spent too much time with Mandela, Sharpton and Jackson.
DAMN RACIST WHITEY, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL CONSERVATIVE, CRACKA ASS PBS!!!! 😳
Let’s talk about msNBC and Charlie Sykes. . .
The Bill Krystal BulWork Shitter.
The same Charlie Sykes who just said on msNBC Andrea “CNN Sucks” Mitchell’s show that President Trump is in Big Big Trouble because ole Charlie Sykes says Elijah Cummings is one of the most respected highest regarded members of either House or either Party and is the most revered leader of the United States. Even above Nanct Pelosi.

Like I said, mental illness.
And don’t forget whose father and brother were leading democrats in starting Baltimore’s slow, long slide into parasitic “trashdom.” She must have learned well at poppa’s knee as San Fran is well on its way to replicating Baltimore if not already there.
What about that thief he’s married to, that story sure went away quickly. Did he cry racist when he was asked about it?
Let me tell you something Congressman. If you think that your civil rights record protects you from criticism, you got another thing Cumming.
His wife is under IRS investigation. She – and he – are conspirators in major tax fraud.
I’m still waiting for the story about the 2 (possibly 3) women that he is paying child support to, for the kids he fathered while he was married to other women. He’s been married 3 times, I think, and the current marriage appears to be more of a clandestine laundry business for money than anything else. baltimore is a manifestation of his amorality and inability to govern.
Let’s see the records for the congressional ‘hush fund,’ which is used to pay off victims of congress member’s indiscretions. I bet his name is in there a few times. It is taxpayer’s money- release the records!
Useless!
The punishment for he and his wife should be cleaning up his district for minimum wage or living in jail to be outside daily. If he tries to escape. aim for his head!
