Throughout his career, Roger Ballen has pursued a singular artistic goal: to give expression to the human psyche and visually explore the hidden forces that shape who we are. In his upcoming film based on his published book, Roger the Rat, he has created an archetypal persona who is a part-human, part-rat creature who lives an isolated life outside of mainstream society.

The full length film will be released during the coming few months and once viewed will remain with you for a lifetime.
