Free Chol Soo Lee (2022)
Op 3 juni 1973 werd een man vermoord op een druk kruispunt van Chinatown in San Francisco als onderdeel van een voortdurende bendeoorlog. Chol Soo Lee, een 20-jarige Koreaanse immigrant die eerder met de wet in aanraking was gekomen, werd gearresteerd en veroordeeld op basis van zwak bewijs en de ooggetuigenverslagen van blanke toeristen die geen onderscheid konden maken tussen Aziatische kenmerken. Chol Soo Lee werd veroordeeld tot levenslang in de gevangenis en zou jarenlang vechten om te overleven achter de tralies voordat journalist K.W. Lee interesse toonde in zijn zaak. Het onderzoek van de onverschrokken verslaggever zou een eerste pan-Aziatisch-Amerikaanse basisbeweging in zijn soort stimuleren om te vechten voor de vrijheid van Chol Soo Lee, en uiteindelijk een nieuwe generatie activisten voor sociale rechtvaardigheid inspireren.
Regiseurs: Julie Ha, Eugene Yi.
