In 1970s San Francisco, 20-year-old Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee is racially profiled and convicted of a Chinatown gang murder. Sentenced to life, he spends years fighting to survive until investigative journalist K.W. Lee takes a special interest in his case, igniting an unprecedented push for social action that would unite Asian Americans and inspire a new generation of activists.

Nearly five decades later, FREE CHOL SOO LEE excavates this largely unknown yet essential history, crafting an intimate portrait of the complex man at its center and serving as an urgent reminder that his legacy is more relevant than ever.

Make A Difference in Our Community
This year, our work matters more than ever. The services that KACF-SF supports for under-resourced Korean Americans - meals and wellness programs for isolated seniors, Korean-language therapy and legal aid, supports for domestic violence survivors - are in critical demand.

If you are interested in giving back in a meaningful and sustainable way, we invite you to become a monthly sustaining donor at just $22/month. Why $22? Because it's 2022, it's a budget friendly amount, and that extra $2 helps cover administrative fees!
