Sentenced to life for a 1972 San Francisco murder, and then a death sentence for a self-defense killing in prison, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was set free after a pan-Asian solidarity movement, which included Korean, Japanese, and Chinese Americans, helped to overturn his conviction. After 10 years of fighting for his life inside California state prisons, Lee found himself in a new fight to rise to the expectations of the people who believed in him.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A and panel discussion.
