Cats of Mirikitani

There is a video called "The Cats of Mirikitani" that I especially like.

It tells the story of the life of a young Japanese man who is put onto a concentration camp in California at the beginning of the second world war. His "crime" is that he is Japanese. After the war he stays in America and has a solitary life as an old artist eventually living on the street in New York and selling his art work--mainly pictures of cats--to the city people who pass by.

In the winter of 2011 when the New York towers are attacked by Islamists he survives covered in ash. He is befriended by a younger New York woman who helps him find a place to live and to sell his work.
