Snow Falling on Cedars, The Story Behind The Movie

Snow Falling on Cedars
"The Story behind the Movie"

Snow Falling on Cedars - recently made into a major motion picture - is the great hostility Americans felt toward the Japanese. Japanese-American relocation proceeded without a cry against it, because of what had happened at Pearl Harbor, Okinawa and other battles in the months immediately preceding Executive Order 9066. Were military leaders really convinced Japan could invade the American west coast? Perhaps they were, given the stinging defeats the United States had sustained in the Pacific before February 19, 1942.
