Free Chol Soo Lee (2022)

On June 3, 1973, a man was murdered in a busy intersection of San Francisco's Chinatown as part of an ongoing gang war. Chol Soo Lee, a 20-year-old Korean immigrant who had previous run-ins with the law, was arrested and convicted based on flimsy evidence and the eyewitness accounts of white tourists who couldn't distinguish between Asian features. Sentenced to life in prison, Chol Soo Lee would spend years fighting to survive behind bars before journalist K.W. Lee took an interest in his case. The intrepid reporter's investigation would galvanize a first-of-its-kind pan-Asian American grassroots movement to fight for Chol Soo Lee's freedom, ultimately inspiring a new generation of social justice activists.

Narra o caso real de um imigrante Koreano preso injustamente, apoiando-se na pauta identitária para fortalecer o argumento, isto é, o documentário abre mais espaços às reinvindicações populares que pressionaram a justiça do que ao próprio sistema em si. A meu ver, ficou desbalanceado. O terço final, tratando de problemas traumáticos de Chol Soo Lee parece até deslocado de tudo que vinha sendo abordado. A edição estava boa, mas ficou um tanto esquisito ao final, não consegui ter a ligação necessária com o rapaz, parecia que o documentário estava forçando lágrimas do telespectador. Filme mediano apenas.

What makes the film so engrossing is how much attention the film-makers give to Lee’s complicated life after prison.

The directors do good work in conjuring up a remote era and teasing out still extant racial tensions. One does, however, end up yearning to hear a little more about how the legal team went about their work. A good complaint to have.

Directors Ha and Yi’s unflinching portrait of Lee is also admirable, as the movie shows the overall effects of a system indifferent to people who fall through its cracks. By staying with Lee and his story, from his early years in Korea, to his later years in America as an injured ex-convict, the documentary shows how the damage to Lee occurred, both as a death row inmate and a reluctant figurehead for the movement that coalesced around him.

Free Chol Soo Lee is not a true crime documentary. If anything, it goes out of its way to avoid becoming one.
