Snow Falling on Cedars

"i love this film, and book. if one isn’t from the pacific nw one may not know about japanese internment during ww2. when japanese americans on bainbridge island - many of whom were farmers, were interned, it laid open a path for competing euro american farmers to steal land and crops. racism, resentment and fear during the war coupled with a challenging economy fueled a very sad time in pnw history. the film tells the story of a wronged man struggling to do the right thing when it counts most.
