City Wildlife: Mice, Rats, and Roaches

City Wildlife: Mice, Rats, Roaches is an informative yet playful exploration into the lives and roles of the most common urban nonhuman inhabitants in New York City. Through a blend of personal reflections and ecological insights, filmmaker Christy Rupp presents these seemingly mundane creatures as essential components of the city's natural ecosystem. The documentary, produced by Chris Post and Peter Von Zeigesar, invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of city animals and embrace an ecology-centric viewpoint that celebrates the interconnectedness between humans and wildlife. A mix of humor and factual evidence brings forth a fresh perspective on urban ecosystems, challenging traditional notions of what it means for animals to coexist with us in our concrete jungles.
