1:07:04
It was not only thoughtful,
but insightful on your part.
1:07:09
Stamps, paper and envelopes...
1:07:13
were exactly what was needed
to complete this transmission.
1:07:19
Your letter, feelings,
concerns, desires and warmth...
1:07:24
literally
jumped off the page at me...
1:07:26
when reading
your heartfelt message.
1:07:29
It is as ifyou heard
my thoughts...
1:07:32
and reached out
to share yours with me...
1:07:34
at a moment when I can hear you.
1:07:38
So thank you once again.
1:07:40
Forever...
1:07:43
your friend and brother...
1:07:47
Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter."
1:07:52
Wow.
1:07:55
You got your answer.
1:07:59
Yeah.
1:08:01
Dear Rubin...
1:08:05
I've been thinking about my life
compared to yours.
1:08:09
I come from Bushwick in Brooklyn.
1:08:12
My parents are alcoholics
and my brother's in prison.
1:08:17
I was third in my class,
and I couldn't even read.
1:08:20
I couldn't write you this letter
just a year ago...
1:08:24
but then I met these friends from Canada
when I had a summerjob at the EPA.
1:08:29
They offered to educate me
and they got me out.
1:08:35
Sometimes I feel guilty about my family
'cause I left 'em behind.
1:08:39
Now that I know you,
I know it isn't right.
1:08:44
I shouldn't cry
about my own feelings...
1:08:47
not ifyou can do what you've done.
1:08:50
I've been thinkin' though.
1:08:52
I would like to come and visit you,
if that will be all right.
