Rat attack

Rat attack [videorecording] / a production of Nova and National Geographic Television; produced by Rick King; co-produced by Jeremy Zipple.

"Once every 48 years, forests of the bamboo known as Melocanna baccifera go into exuberant flower in parts of northeast India. And then, like clockwork, the event is invariably followed by a plague of black rats that spring from nowhere to spread destruction and famine in their wake. For the first time on film, Nova and National Geographic capture this massive rat population explosion in the kind of vivid detail not possible in 1959, when the last invasion occurred. Shot in the Indian state of Mizoram, where the massive onslaught occurred on schedule in 2008, this Nova/National Geographic Televison special shows hordes of rats emerging from the forest right at harvest season, consuming entire crops and leaving subsistence farmers facing starvation. The chance to document and study this remarkable rat outbreak won't occur again for another half-century."--Nova website.
