Watch Cat Heaven Island

Cats - hundreds and hundreds of them - define the quiet island of Tashirojima. They have just a handful of elderly human residents for company, who maintain a life steeped in fading but beautiful Japanese culture. This heart-warming and evocative documentary explores how a tight-knit community of ever more wizened pensioners find joy in their unique island identity, and affection from their feline friends.

Cat Heaven Island is a 2016 documentary with a runtime of 55 minutes.
