Cold Case

Cold Case

-Revolves around a fictional Philadelphia Police Department division specializing in "cold cases"

Premise
-Set in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nick Vera(Jeremy Ratchford), Will Jeffries(Thom Barry) and Kat Miller(Tracie Thoms)
-Usually each episode focuses on a single investigation. Some of the cases are spread out all over the city and outside the city, and even go back in time, some as far back as the 1910s
-The case would usually be brought up when a new lead or "new direction" comes up.
-Over the course of the investigation, they would talk to suspects, or witnesses in the crime and piece together what happened.
At the end, the police are seen walking the killer away into custody as the spirit of the victim looks on. And a song symbolizing the period in which the crime took place plays as a sign of gratitude
-Throughout the flashbacks, the show looks at many issues related to the 20th century, such as: racism, homophobia, sexism, abortion, police brutality

-This is one of my favorite documentaries. I wish I could have remembered the name of it before.
-This is, by far in my humble opinion, one of the better documentaries. It really opens your eyes to the fact that there are very few, if any, Asian male actors in American movies, and if there are, they are put in a bad or awkward light
-2006 documentary written, produced and directed by Jeff Adachi
-It depicts the stereotypical ideas of and absence of Asian males in American movies and other forms of media from the days of silent films to present day.
-In the silent movie era, Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa rivaled Douglas Fairbanks for talent
