The Cat Man Eshete (2025) Brooklyn Film Festival 2025

 


This is a portrait of a man from Ethiopia who ended up homeless in Brooklyn. Staying across the street from his former home he encountered a feral cat who became his friend. He now spends his time caring for a colony of feral cats.

As someone with 5 cats at home, and who has had dozens over the years, this film moved me. Yes it’s film with lots of cute cats but it also speaks volumes about homelessness in America and the situation with feral domestic animals. There is a lot here to process.

This is definitely one to search out.
