Join Tom Needham on SOUNDS for an eye-opening and compelling conversation with Peabody and Emmy Award-winning director Todd Bieber, whose latest documentary “American Cats: The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly” delves into the controversial practice of cat declawing. In this exclusive interview, Bieber sheds light on the medical, ethical, and emotional ramifications of a procedure that remains shockingly common in the United States, despite being banned in most industrialized countries.
Through the humorous yet hard-hitting lens of British-American correspondent Amy Hoggart (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee), “American Cats” exposes the powerful industry lobby that perpetuates the practice of declawing, while advocating for alternatives that prioritize the well-being of our feline friends. The documentary skillfully balances satire with serious investigative journalism, delivering a message that is as thought-provoking as it is accessible.
Bieber discusses his journey in bringing this important story to life, from collaborating with veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Conrad, who has fought tirelessly against declawing, to navigating a wide array of interviews with veterinarians, pet owners, and industry insiders. He also shares anecdotes about filming in unexpected places, such as the home of New York icon Curtis Sliwa, all while maintaining the heart and humor that make this documentary stand out.
"American Cats" recently screened at the Hamptons International Film Festival and is opening in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Royal on October 25th.
Don’t miss this episode of SOUNDS, where you’ll gain insight into the making of “American Cats” and learn more about the ethical choices we make for our pets. Whether you’re a cat lover or a documentary enthusiast, this conversation with Todd Bieber will leave you questioning the practices we take for granted and inspired to be a part of the change.
