Cockroaches, A Domestic History

When the lights go out and we retire to bed our houses revert to nature.Ê Vast herds of domestic cockroaches graze across the fertile domestic landscape.

This film takes us behind the refrigerator and provides an intimate look at their society, the mating rituals and the remarkable design of this most resiliant of creatures. Cockroches are walking fossils, having inhabited the earth for 300 million years virtually unchanged.

Our relationship with our most unwanted house guests is explored. From New York to Moscow cockroaches are met with an almost universal cry of revulsion. Mostly we want to kill on site and we all seem to have a favorite method. Roach hunters on safari display their secret weapons and techniques.

Through a mixture of macro photography, dramatization and animation this film reveals a world of natural wonder and beauty.

This film is not part of a series.
