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.

My name is HER Yoon-soo and Iminm 25 years old. Iminve somehow managed to graduate from a film school, and now my dream is to stand on my own two feet while making films. Yet in reality, I still flit from one part-time job to another, working at cafes and restaurants. I turn to some of the alumni from my film school in search of success stories. But the reality they face is far different from my expectations.
