has grown into one of the largest film festivals in the country, and on Thursday the festival will return in front of a live audience for the first time since the pandemic.
This includes the festival's Opening Night film at the Castro Theater,"Free Chol Soo Lee" - a documentary that looks back at a local gangland murder investigation in San Francisco Chinatown in 1973."It is about a real case in the Bay Area, but largely forgotten," said Tran."When you break down that case, the reason that he was wrongfully convicted was they were looking for a Chinese person to blame Cho Soo Lee is Korean.
"And you see them face white supremacists in their neighborhood are targeting their restaurant," said Tran."That's another deeply moving documentary."
