Summary of The Cats of Mirikitani
Jimmy Mirikitani grew up in Hiroshima, survived the Japanese-American internment camps in California, and was living on the streets of New York by the time the World Trade Center came down. Perhaps it's ironic, or sad, that he is an artist whose main message is peace. But how did Mirikitani end up on the streets of Manhattan and what amazing secrets are hidden in his past? This is an amazing portrait of the man, but also a fascinating example of the process of documentary filmmaking. What started as the filmmaker's interest in the peaceful artist blossomed into something neither of them would have ever expected.
