US Premiere
Documentary Feature | USA | 2024 | English | 94 minutes
This thought-provoking exposé (or expawsé) follows comedian Amy Hoggart ('Full Frontal with Samantha Bee') as she dives into the controversial world of cat declawing in the United States. On the surface, it appears to be a simple, harmless surgery for the convenience of pet owners, but as Hoggart digs deeper, a disturbing nationwide conspiracy unfolds. Through interviews with veterinarians, activists, and pet owners, the documentary unveils a powerful industry lobby that profits from this cruel procedure. AMERICAN CATS challenges the ethical implications of our choices and calls for a nationwide reflection on our treatment of animals. It also has lots of jokes and cute kittens.
Scheduled to attend: Todd Bieber (director), Nona Catusanu (director of photography), Jennifer Conrad (subject), Susan Whittred (subject), Jim Jensvold (executive producer), Grace Leeson (producer)
