"Make art not war" is Jimmy Mirikitani's motto. This feisty 80-year-old Japanese American artist was born in California and raised in Hiroshima, but by 2001 he is living on the gritty streets of New York. How did he end up here? The answer is in his art. In rain,wind, and snow, Mirikitani can be found on a corner in Soho drawing whimsical cats, bleak internment camps, and the angry red flames of the atomic bomb. When a neighboring filmmaker pauses to ask about Jimmy's art, a friendship begins that will change both their lives.
The story takes a twist when the events of September 11 challenge the filmmaker to move from witness to advocate; in the chaos following the fall of the World Trade Center, she brings her subject home. In this uncharted landscape, the two emark on a tumultous journey into Jimmy's painful past -- discovering a history of injustice and discrimination that bears an eerie resonance to current events. Blending beauty and humor with tragedy and loss, THE CATS OF MIRIKITANI is an intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war and the healing power of art. A heart-warming affirmation of humanity that will appeal to lovers of peace, art, and cats everywhere.
