Racially Profiled, Sentenced to Die: Who Was Chol Soo Lee?
A victim of racial profiling, Korean immigrant Chol Soo Lee was sentenced to life in prison for a San Francisco murder he did not commit. In 1970s America, his case inspired a grassroots social justice movement within the Asian American community. A new, critically acclaimed documentary traces Lee's story and the movement that led to his release.
