If you’re looking for a first-of-its-kind screening in Missouri, check out the free screening of Free Chol Soo Lee. It is the true story of a Korean immigrant who was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in the 1970s.
It sparked a national pan-Asian movement, but that history is largely unknown. You can catch the film Friday at 6 p.m. at Webster University’s Winifred Moore Auditorium. A panel discussion will follow with St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell, journalist Aisha Sultan, journalist Sarah Fenske and the founder of the Missouri Wrongful Conviction Project, Megan Crane.

If you’re “rooking” for an over-the-top holiday event this weekend, look for the Jingle Holiday pop-up at the St. Louis Chess Central West End Campus Friday morning starting at 10 a.m. There are two ways to experience it — naughty or nice. The nice event costs $5 a person and is for the whole family. The naughty hours are for adults, and the cost is $15. Reservations must be made in advance.
