 way “Buraziru\,” promising to return after five years. Once in Brazil\
 , her husband from an arranged marriage dies\, and she is left to care for
  her daughter Shinobu. Landowner and farmer\, midwife and respected matria
 rch\, Titoe epitomizes the matrilineal gambare spirit of endurance and fem
 ale independence\, one that blesses and curses the women of her family acr

 es it across generations. Starring Tamlyn Tomita and featuring the final p
 erformance by veteran stage and screen actress Nobu McCarthy\, GAIJIN 2 up
 dates director Yamasaki’s 1981 classic GAIJIN: PATHS TO FREEDOM.\n35mm\,
