Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani is an 80-year old Japanese American trying to survive as an artist on the streets of New York City. Each year 100,000 New Yorkers experience homelessness. One out of every six people using an emergency feeding program is a senior citizen. This documentary seeks to put a human face on the statistics by telling the story of one man’s life.
