SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS - New York Vintage 1995 - - .



A local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese American is charged with his murder. In the course of the trial, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than one man's quilt. Above all there is the haunting memory of what happened to the Japanese residents of this area during World War II when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbours watched.
