Jimmy Mirikitani

The other day my friend Aimee Charles recommended me this amazing documentary to watch, The cats of Mirikitani! The dvd is available on this website
http://www.thecatsofmirikitani.com/

In 2001, Japanese American painter Jimmy Mirikitani, over 80 years old, is living in the streets of lower Manhattan. Filmmaker Hattendorf takes an interest, and begins to engage with him to create a documentary of his life. After the destruction on September 11, 2001, the debris- and dust-choked streets are deserted; when Hattendorf looks for Mirikitani, he is still in his usual spot. She invites him to stay a while at her apartment. Gradually we learn who he is, and of his past...with amazing and unexpected results. (The cats of the title are featured in Mirikitani's artwork.)
