Bridge to the Sun (1961)

Autobiographical story of an American Woman who marries a Japanese diplomat before World War Two and is deported to Japan after Pearl Harbor.

[13 November 1998]

This is the true story of Gwen Terasaki who married a Japanese diplomat before World War Two and then returned with him to Japan after Pearl Harbor. It tells the story of the war from an entirely new perspective, and is the first film to depict the racial nature of the Pacific war, and to depict the suffering of the common Japanese people.
