Summary:
This documentary is an intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war and the healing power of art. The film is a heart-warming affirmation of humanity that will appeal to all lovers of peace, art, and cats. (Corporation for Public Broadcasting)
In its best moments, The Cats of Mirikitani captures both the tragedy and transcendence of his life, from the Sacramento-born, Hiroshima-raised youth who returned to the States in 1937 rather than join the Japanese Imperial Army, to the proudly self-sufficient man who struggled through New York's fierce winters until gaining recognition both as an artist and a human being.

Powerful. Watching him being restored by the love and assistance of his benefactor was in credible. Seeing the world through his eyes of what was taken away by the government actions is painful and awakening. Doesn't hit you over the head. Allows you to see and feel. A MUST SEE.
