What happened?
1:39:21
She let me go.
1:39:40
Two years after Paul and I
moved to New York...
1:39:43
...I received a letter
from my mother.
1:39:46
In it was the Los Angeles Times
Magazine, my mother on the cover.
1:39:52
A Santa Monica gallery had mounted
a showing of her work.
1:39:56
The Times included seven pages...
1:39:58
...of her hauntingly
distant prison collages.
1:40:03
She stares out from the cover,
the bars of her cell behind her.
1:40:10
Beautiful.
1:40:12
Dangerous.
1:40:14
Proud.
1:40:17
The Times said she was close to winning
a retrial after a first failed appeal.
1:40:22
They called her show a triumph.
1:40:29
It's too much to imagine her tempering
her joy with a moment of grief...
1:40:34
...a moment for what
that triumph had cost.
1:40:38
These suitcases are
a map of that country...
1:40:43
...a terrible country
I will never revisit.
1:40:50
Even so...
1:40:53
...I find myself thinking of her...
1:40:57
...wanting to feel that wind.
