As the media erupt over President Trump mocking rat-infested Baltimore, a Baltimore-based documentary titled Rat Film aired on PBS last year. Late in the film, a female narrator notes persistently poor neighborhoods in Baltimore, with 2015 measurements of arrests, vacant homes, poverty, unemployment, and life expectancy. They never mentioned which party has been running the city since the 1950s.
