"The Freedom of Fierro" Documentary Discussion

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 - 12:00pm
CST
Organized by The Reentry Resource Program

You are invited to join a discussion with filmmaker Santiago Esteinou and Cesar Fierro about the new documentaryThe 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. César 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 César back in 2022 to discuss the first documentary about César's case, The Years of Fierro. Here's a link to that discussion: https://vimeo.com/764541948?fl=pl&fe=sh
