The film highlights the lives of cats and other animals that have been abandoned in Greece, Australia and around the world.
It delves into the love and cruelty humans can inflict on other animals as well as themselves.
“Acropolis Cats & Other Wondrous Animals is a film about love, tenderness and cruelty and puts a spotlight on humans and animals what connects us to each other and the world. It’s a small step towards remembering our humanity in these times.”
