Okay, I'll get it.
You see?
Yeah, it's pretty.
Look at that yellow flower.
- There's amazing wildflowers here.
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you see?
- Mm-hmm.
Sheep don't know what to think yet.
Dobra.
I'll come with you a little.
Lay on the floor, grab both legs.
Grab both legs.
Shane Mosley was out there.
- Hey, what's happening? How are you?
- How you doing?
- Getting close to everybody today.
- Oh, I see. Okay.
- Nothing wrong with being close.
- That's what I always say.
- Keeps everybody warm.
- Exactly.
- Go get this kid.
- I will.
Lot of jabs. Lot of catching.
Hit him in the damn shoulders. Got it?
All right, baby. Go ahead. Go ahead.
How did that delivery go?
Was it easy, that one?
- Which one?
- The one you just did.
- The baby?
- Yeah, was it an easy delivery?
Yes, she is very easy,
although she's gonna be our fourth.
This is our fourth delivery.
- Fourth delivery.
- Mmm, fourth.
It was so easy and she delivered quickly.
She was just coming in.
How many more babies
do you think you're going to get today?
It depends.
They can come very little, and they
can come as many as you think of.
How many midwifes are there here today?
Today we are three in number.
Okay, go get 'em.
Next.
My theory is that Americans exist
to the degree they're being filmed,
or believe themselves to be filmed.
- Yeah, that
- This is the natural condition.
You see how Americanized I am now.
Careful.
She sees everything around her
and she's totally blind.
That's the image of the philosopher
who falls in the well, you say?
- Yes.
- While looking at the star.
Uh, uh, uh, uh!
I didn't see the headlines.
I sort of saw .
Watch out!
Yup, and these.
- And what else?
- You gonna bring them.
Hi, y'all. Cup in my mouth.
With a cup in your mouth, huh?
You know, these guys weren't real smart.
Can you take us through these items
and tell us what they are?
Mm-hmm.
All these items are the clothing
taken from James Byrd's body.
Uh, there's not a whole lot
of evidentiary value to these items.
Uh, but it's always important that things
like this be admitted into the courtroom.
One of the things that we did in
this trial was make up these booklets...
with 13 pictures to establish
specific evidentiary points.
Could you describe a couple
of key pictures in there
you felt really made your case?
There's .
There's one picture
it's about the third one in it
that, uh, shows all of the extensive
dragging marks on the body.
And one look at that picture
and you realize
how painful it must have been
and how much torture was involved.
Then there are several pictures
over in the back
where the elbows are ground in
way past the bone.
And when you look at these photographs
and you realize that for
a large portion of this dragging,
James Byrd was alive,
that he was using his elbows, uh,
to keep his head and shoulders
away from the pavement dirt,
that he was twisting his hips
back and forth
and using his, uh, heels
to try to keep his head from
coming in contact with that pavement.
And you see the degree of flesh
that's torn away during that process,
you begin to get mad.
Uh, hearing somebody talk about it
and actually looking at it
is different.
We gave each juror
a copy of this booklet,
and that eliminated the need
of showing the pictures on a screen
or showing 'em in a courtroom.
That, uh, creates, uh,
We had all the emotion we needed
in this case without adding to it.
I need a little. Yeah, it's good.
- Beautiful.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
- It's okay now?
- It's beautiful. Yes, thank you.
Diversion.
Wait, wait. Yeah.
Keep the door closed.
Mamasho.
Thanks, sweetie.
I want to keep that off
so I can see you guys.
- Duh.
- Nice.
Felix, are you putting
the camera lens on too?
Thanks, guys.
You guys are so good at
putting things away.
Yeah, that's the microphone.
Don't be scared.
I so high.
- I can see the whole Kabul.
- This is great.
Whoa! Najib, hold on!
Whoo!
Cover this eye. Cover your hurt eye.
And look out and tell me what you can see.
Describe everything that you see.
Um...
and tell me what you see.
Mmm.
Nothing.
In this side,
I can feel a little bit of light.
And when I'm moving my Oh, sorry.
It's okay. English or Dari is great.
Tell me in Dari.
You just look at me,
even though we're not filming everything.
What, um .
What are the expenses you have
to take care of your son right now?
Um, my expenses right now are.
Pampers, wipes, clothes, shoes, food...
which is by being a single parent
is not easy and it's not impossible.
It's possible because I've been
doing it by myself for 19 months.
But at the same time, I just feel like...
with another child,
and what I'm trying to do right now,
it's not I don't feel like I can do it.
I work as a cashier. I just started there.
Just working till I get out of school.
That's all. So.
Tell me about school.
I'm studying to become a paramedic,
so, yeah.
I'm just trying to pursue my dream
so I can have better for my son.
Like I was telling you out in the lobby,
I feel like a bad person because I let it
happen a second time, you know. So.
I don't really think I can do
a second child by myself.
That's why I just feel like a bad person.
A bad female.
Because I let it happen a second time.
And I told myself not to do it,
but it happened anyways.
Okay. The only rule I'm gonna give you
is you may not say,
"I'm not a good person" anymore.
'Cause that is not the case.
Unintended pregnancy
is an unintended pregnancy.
That's all it is. That's all it is.
- So... no more, okay?
- Okay.
Okay? I'm not kidding.
Yeah, me too.
And you're making
everybody cry, number one.
And it's also happened to all of us.
We've all had unintended pregnancies.
If this clinic wasn't here,
what would you do?
"If this clinic wasn't here..."
If this clinic wasn't here,
I'd probably do an adoption,
but, as crazy as it sounds,
I said in my head, I said,
"Well, I would rather an abortion
than to give him
give the baby up to a family
I don't know."
Because if I want to hold it,
then that's love.
And I don't want to, you know
I know.
I'm so sorry.
You caught me.
I didn't mean to.
I was just trying to film the ground.
I was over here looking at the lighting.
The lighting's good now, Kirsten.
- Come here, honey.
- Is it okay if I film you?
Mom?
It would have been our furniture in here.
There was a swing that used to be
right there, that we had.
You can see the hook from the swing.
Yeah.
Ah, this is fun.
Little breeze come through here?
Huh.
I wonder if this .
Uh, the fireplace is confusing me
so I won't say .
Somehow I have a feeling that
when you came in the front door,
there was something here
that was a fireplace.
- Uh-huh.
- I don't know where it is.
Like this stove here.
That little stove. Was that here?
