Modest Mouse - King Rat (International Version)
Proceeds from iTunes video downloads in the first month of release will go toward Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization committed to ending the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. To purchase the video, click here. In January of 2007, while visiting his homeland of Australia, Heath Ledger presented Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse with an idea to direct a video for their yet-to-be-released song ‘King Rat’. Heath’s vision, brave and unapologetic in its nature, would marry his love of bold and original music with his impassioned stance against the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place of the coast of Australia each year. Always one to operate from his heart and take a stand for what he cared deeply about, Heath's intention was to raise awareness on modern whaling practices through a potent visual piece without having to say a word. It was his way to let the story, in its candid reversal, speak for itself.
The video was fully conceived down to the last detail but unfinished when Heath passed away in January of 2008. In the interest of fully realizing Heath’s final work as a visual artist, THE MASSES (a film and music company which Heath was a partner in) finished the video in his honor, with the support and advocacy of Isaac Brock.

Fan of Modest Mouse
I'ma fan of Modest Mouse and think they did a great job on this video. I think stopping whaling is a valid cause that should definitely be promoted. It's such a shame about Heath Ledger, but it's good to know that he's still having an impact with good works being done in his name.

Trying to make contact.
Hi, i looked through your site trying to find an email form that hits off to someone in the creative department. i couldn't find anything, so come on guys, I'm relying on you to check these comments...
Basically, I'm a web designer/animator from London, and I'm offering my services to you for pretty much free, I owe so many hard hours, years of work and dedication to this band. Without there music i would have never got as far as i have today, and I love my job.
After watching this video i can tell for fact a its made in flash, which is my playground. I love working for people that love working themselves, and its even better when that company's working towards a good cause. Which is hard to find these days.
This is a message that i could send to no other band. Just looking to find work away from the king rats.
Woohoo!
Your music is hella cool! I like it!

haha I love the irony. I just watched something on whale hunting the other day. It's ridiculous how many whales they kill and stack carelessly onto boats. I like how the video turns it around and makes you think about the situation in a different way. Modest Mouse = Amazing. RIP Heath Ledger.

*-* love Modest Mouse!
The video was great! I loved, and I look forward to more! Sorry for my bad English ... Kiss, Polly!
