The Cats of Mirikitani

documentary

Soho filmmaker notices a homeless man in her neighborhood who is always drawing so she approaches him and discovers a story. He had been an internee at Tule Lake during the war and was bitter and abandoned by life. She gradually draws him out and fixes his life.

Sweet little film. How many stories are there floating around a city like New York? Few with resolutions as satisfying as this one.
