Ledger's Modest Mouse Contribution, King Rat, finally released

The video was directed by the late Heath Ledger in order to raise awareness against commercial whaling.
The band's website states, "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."
