At the Movies: Ricochet: The Path to Justice Is not a Straight Line

A new documentary is out of interest to readers of ImmProf Blog.

Ricochet, a film by Jeff Adachi and Chihiro Wimbush, features the San Francisco Public Defender Offices’s defense of José Ines García Zaraté. An undocumented immigrant, García Zaraté was charged with the tragic death of Kate Steinle, who was killed by the ricochet of a bullet that he accidentally fired. His case set of a national firestorm over “sanctuary cities” when it was picked up by the Trump campaign.

More information, how to watch the film, and a teacher’s guide are all available here.

We last posted an update on the case here.
