A new documentary that premiered in The City this week about the life of former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin features first-time interviews with his formerly incarcerated parents, as well as the couple who raised him in Chicago.
Boudin and his wife, Valerie Block — along with Boudin’s biological father, David Gilbert — attended the standing-room-only screening of “Beyond Bars: It’s a Movement, Not a Moment” at the San Francisco Public Library’s Koret Auditorium on Wednesday evening. During a post-film forum with director Robert Greenwald, Boudin shared his reaction to the documentary.
