Fierro Film Screening and Panel Discussion (Part I) Los Años de Fierro
This screening features the first of two documentaries about César Fierro and focuses on his legal case prior to winning relief from a Texas death sentence. Los Años de Fierro tells the story of Fierro, the longest-held Mexican national on death row in the United States, who spent more than thirty years awaiting execution while maintaining his innocence. The film reflects on justice, confinement, and fraternal bonds through the perspectives of César and his brother Sergio.
A panel discussion will follow with filmmaker Santiago Esteinou, Carol Steiker, and Charlie Baird. Moderated by Jordan Steiker. Pizza will be served.
