Which was pointed out to me by Japan Probe:
The movie is called Hariymaya Bridge-and it appears to capture a lot of the issues involved in Gaijin marriage with Japanese. The story concerns an American man who must travel to rural Japan after his estranged son dies there in a traffic accident. While there, he discovers some secrets his son left behind.
Part of this rings true for me on a personal note-I had a Sailor who worked for me several years ago, whose parents were furious that he married a Japanese girl instead of an African American one.
Danny Glover is in the movie. Can’t wait to see it.
