About the film
Rat Trap is a film about rat-hole coal miners who risk their lives to earn a livelihood. While doing this activity, many mishaps are unreported, which we cannot see from the outside. The miners' lives are devastating enough that they are called thieves in their own houses. During a case of mine collapse, they cannot even shed a tear or claim their loved one's body. This film narrates their daily life.
