Indie Lens Film "Free Chol Soo Lee" Screening - 4/19 @ Putnam County Library
Join WCTE Wednesday, April 19th at Noon for a free screening of the Indie Lens film "Free Chol Soo Lee" at the Putnam County Library (50 E. Broad Street Cookeville, TN 38501).
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.
"Free Chol Soo Lee" premieres April 24th on WCTE.
