Lurking in unseen corners and crevices all over the world, rats thrive as one of the most elusive creatures. Their existence flourishes around the globe – from the fractures in Manhattan’s sidewalks to the dark streets of Mumbai, these disease-carrying animals are near impossible to exterminate. Inspired by Robert Sullivan’s New York Times bestselling book Rats: Observations on the History & Habitat of the City’s Most Unwanted Inhabitants, Oscar® nominated director Morgan Spurlock unveils a new form of documentary horror storytelling, journeying around the world to bring viewers face to face with rats while delving into our complicated relationship with these creepy creatures. RATS, a horrormentary, premieres October 22 at 9PM on Discovery Channel and October 30 at 9PM on Animal Planet.
