April 18th, 8pm EST, Virtual, Free

Join us for the national advanced virtual screening of the Independent Lens film, Free Chol Soo Lee. 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. Following the screening will be a panel discussion moderated by Ron Mizutani, PBS Hawaiʻi's President and CEO.

Panelists include:
• Alan Shinn, retired, Executive Director, Coalition for a Drug-Free Hawaii and member, Chol Soo Lee Defense Committee in the SF Bay Area
• Ranko Yamada, community activist, retired attorney, and participant in CSL movement
• Eric Yamamoto, retired, Fred T. Korematsu Professor of Law and Social Justice at the William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
• Hoyt H. Zia, retired attorney, Founding President, National Asian Pacific American Bar Association
