The rollercoaster life story of Chol Soo Lee, a Korean immigrant wrongfully convicted of murder.

The  2022/'23 Indie Lens season of films and community conversation concludes!

Sentenced to life for a 1973 San Francisco murder, 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.

Free Chol Soo Lee will premiere on PBS on April 24, 2023.
