Drawing by Jimmy Mirikitani.
We saw a wonderful documentary the other night called The Cats of Mirikitani. We loved it and I highly recommend it. In addition to the historical experience of what WWII, Hiroshima, and internment camps meant to people, and Mr. Mirikitani specifically, the story of how the documentary came about from a real human-to-human sharing was touching. The person who created the documentary didn't expect to discover that the artist/homeless man she befriended had an amazing life story. Via 9/11 and the need to give him shelter, she unraveled his story and brought him out of a shell he was in. It's a beautiful story, and reminds me that we need to keep barriers down and be open to meeting people from all walks of life.
