Truly Criminal

It should have been a celebration.
In June 1982, 27-year-old Vincent Chin was preparing to be married. Instead, a night out with friends ended in a brutal attack that would leave him fighting for his life.
But what happened next would shock people across the United States. As the details emerged, Vincent’s death became more than a single act of violence. It became a case that forced a nation to confront uncomfortable questions about race, justice, and whose lives are valued.
More than four decades later, those questions still resonate. This is the story of Vincent Chin.
