25 Cats From Qatar (InDPanda)

From the filmmaker of the award-winning CAT DADDIES (Opening Film of the 18th InDPanda). Qatar is one of the world’s wealthiest nations, and its rapid growth is powered by migrant workers who make 89% of the population. But underneath the luxurious surface lies an overwhelming street cat population where disease is rampant, the heat is extreme, and expats are burdened to help the struggling felines.

When an American flight attendant and cat cafe owner becomes aware of the crisis, she hatches a plan to fly 25 cats to Milwaukee, where her cat cafe provides a pipeline for adoption.

This touching journey is both an urgent wake-up call and a compassionate and heartwarming portrayal of strangers overcoming international barriers to reach a common goal.
