Julie Ha, Eugene Yi, 2022, 83 min.

In 1970s San Francisco, 20-year-old Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee is racially profiled and convicted of a Chinatown gang murder. After spending years fighting to survive, investigative journalist K.W. Lee takes a special interest in his case, igniting an unprecedented social justice movement.

Nearly five decades later, Free Chol Soo Lee excavates this largely unknown yet essential history to craft a portrait of the complex man at its center and provide an urgent reminder that his legacy is more relevant than ever. A MUBI Release.

Followed by a conversation between filmmakers Julie Ha & Eugene Yi and critic Tomris Laffly
