On June 3, 1973, a man was murdered in a busy intersection of San Francisco’s Chinatown as part of an ongoing gang war. Chol Soo Lee, a 20-year-old Korean immigrant who had previous run-ins with the law, was arrested and convicted based on flimsy evidence and the eyewitness accounts of white tourists who couldn’t distinguish between Asian features. Sentenced to life in prison, Chol Soo Lee would spend years fighting to survive behind bars before journalist K.W. Lee took an interest in his case. The intrepid reporter’s investigation would galvanize a first-of-its-kind pan-Asian American grassroots movement to fight for Chol Soo Lee’s freedom, ultimately inspiring a new generation of social justice activists.

[Filmin] Some stories are so relevant that they just need to be told. The tragedy of a destiny that seems marked by pessimism, but that is also built on bad decisions and a corrupt and imperfect judicial system. Chol Soo Lee is the victim of police inefficiency but also of the expectations of a community (and of himself). The third act is one of the most harrowing one can experience in a movie. And the directors only tell us a story without artifice.
