RARE DOCS: Ratrace takes the viewer through the stories of young people who have experienced social exclusion, small animated rat pups lost in a laboratory, and a still, photojournalistic narrative that highlights the sites of exclusion across different parts of our society. The film creates dialogue between young people, researchers, and professionals working with youth, compelling the viewer to confront the exclusionary structures of our society face to face.
The production has been made possible by Saastamoinen Foundation, the Brita Maria Renlund Memorial Foundation (Stiftelsen Brita Maria Renlunds minne), and the Committee for Public Information (TJNK).
