Speaker Information: Santiago Esteinou and Cesar Fierro

EJP's Reentry Resource Program looks forward to hosting a discussion with Santiago Esteinou and Cesar Fierro about the new documentary The Freedom of Fierro.

César Fierro has just become a free man and he needs to rebuild his life after being wrongly sentenced to death in Texas. He spent 40 years in prison before being released and deported to Mexico during the pandemic.  Despite the challenges, César remains determined to find true freedom. The Freedom of Fierro is the second part of the documentary The Years of Fierro, directed by Santiago Esteinou in 2014.

You may remember that we welcomed Santiago and Cesar back in 2022 to discuss the first documentary about Cesar's case, The Years of Fierro. Here's a link to that discussion: https://vimeo.com/764541948?fl=pl&fe=sh

This event will take place on Wednesday, October 22nd, 12:00-1:00 pm CST. 

After you submit the RSVP, you will receive a link to view the documentary. We ask that all attendees view the documentary prior to attending the discussion.
