From Academy Award\u00ae nominee Laura Checkoway comes her next short doc THE CAT MAN ESHETE. The extraordinary story of Eshete, who escaped Ethiopia\u2019s civil war on foot as a young man and is now a devoted caretaker of a feral cat colony in Brooklyn. Eshete has become the heart of a close-knit community, despite living on the fringes. This intimate document is equally a portrait of community care with a supporting cast of New Yorkers who help care for the cats\u2014and for each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
