Story

This documentary offers an intimate look at the lives of people working as rat killers in Mumbai during the night hours. Directed by Miriam Chandy, the film was shot over two years to capture the authentic experiences and obstacles these workers face. Rather than relying on dramatisation, it presents the unfiltered reality of this profession. The film shines a light on the often-unseen activities that take place across the city after sunset, when most residents are sleeping, revealing a side of urban life that remains largely hidden from public view.
