Tora

Tora features David Suzuki in his first acting role, alongside Kate Bateman. The story revolves around a jaded city woman who inherits a lakeside property, only to discover it was once a Japanese Internment Camp during World War II. As she encounters a ghostly little girl, the narrative weaves through dreams and flashbacks, revealing the haunting history tied to her new neighbor, portrayed by Suzuki.

The film uses stunning cinema-scope to capture the contrasting landscapes of British Columbia and the harsh winters of the 1940s. This visual storytelling enhances the emotional depth of the characters and their experiences. Tora’s exploration of its historical context, combined with its dramatic elements, makes it a unique work that appeals to those interested in narratives that reflect on the past while addressing contemporary themes.
