Скачать или смотреть Reflections on K.W. Lee

Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was convicted of a crime that he did not commit on the streets of San Francisco's Chinatown. Tenacious reporting by Sacramento Union investigative reporter K.W. Lee helped to inspire a generation of young activists and Korean immigrants in what would become the first national pan-Asian movement.

Filmmaker Julie Ha and activists Ranko Yamada, Peggy Saika and David Kakishiba reflect upon the impact K.W. Lee — himself an immigrant from Korea — had on the movement to free Chol Soo Lee.

Premiered at the 2022 Sacramento Asian Pacific Film Festival's presentation of "Free Chol Soo Lee," a documentary by Julie Ha and Eugene Yi.
