Yes.
5:02
Yes.

So she called everyone she could, and most people don't understand international law.
5:07
I wouldn't have understood.

How did the Reader's Digest movie get made? Well,

it was international news.

I don't know how media finds things out, but we were hiding, and Dawn and I talked about this before.
43:10
My mom had so much guilt of not reaching out to them after the rescue to say thank you for what you did.

43:17
He was like, people that we've helped, you don't go back to your trauma.

I consider you and Emily a friend, just the way you walked me through the first time of recording and all of the comments that we got.
2:49
It was a lot.
2:50
So thank you for all of the comments.
2:52
But if it is your first time, yes.
2:55
So a little summary.
