Snow Falling on Cedars (1999)6.8 /10

Storyline:  In a small coastal town in the Pacific Northwest in 1950, the body of a local fisherman is found, and Kazuo Miyamoto, a Japanese-American man, is accused of his murder. As tensions rise during the trial, racism, wartime scars, and a long-buried love triangle surface. Ishmael Chambers, a local journalist and World War II veteran who still harbors feelings for Kazuo's wife, Hatsue, begins to uncover truths that challenge the town’s prejudices—and his own. Snow Falling on Cedars is a haunting meditation on memory, justice, and forbidden love in the shadow of war.
