It's shit. It's like one of those infomercials with African kids with swollen bellies and flies in their eyes. See here I've got dead mothers, I've got severed limbs, but it's *nothing* new. Sure, it might make some people cry if they read it, maybe even write a check. But it's not going to be enough to make it stop! I'm sick of writing about victims but it's all I can fucking do! Because I need names, I need dates, I need pictures, I need bank accounts. Which is to say that I need someone to go *on* record. And if that's not you, and you're not really gonna help me, and we're not really gonna screw, then why don't you get the *fuck* out of my face, and let me do my work?Danny Archer: You know Solomon thinks his son will be a doctor someday?

In the 90 degree heat Solomon Vandy drops to his knees
00:00:05.007 --> 00:00:08.074
rattling the wire with his powerful hands
00:00:12.028 --> 00:00:15.999
What Nothing
00:00:17.015 --> 00:00:19.018
Do you think I'm exploiting his grief
00:00:21.016 --> 00:00:22.092
You're right It's shit
00:00:23.069 --> 00:00:26.042
It's like one of those infomercials
00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:31.043
You know the little black babies with swollen bellies and flies in their eyes
00:00:31.006 --> 00:00:35.005
So here I've got dead mothers I've got severed limbs but it's nothing new
00:00:35.067 --> 00:00:38.026
It might be enough to make people cry if they read it
00:00:38.044 --> 00:00:39.091
maybe even write a check
00:00:40.007 --> 00:00:42.044
but it's not gonna be enough to make it stop
00:00:42.074 --> 00:00:47.031
I am sick of writing about victims but it's all I can fucking do
00:00:47.048 --> 00:00:49.998
Because I need facts
00:00:49.018 --> 00:00:53.071
I need names I need dates I need pictures I need bank accounts
00:00:55.076 --> 00:00:58.028
People back home wouldn't buy a ring
00:00:58.046 --> 00:01:00.072
if they knew it cost someone else their hand
00:01:01.036 --> 00:01:03.052
But I can't write that story
00:01:03.007 --> 00:01:07.023
until I get facts that can be verified
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:12.053
which is to say until I find someone who will go on record
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:15.023
So if that is not you
00:01:15.041 --> 00:01:19.001
and you're not really gonna help me and we're not really gonna screw
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:22.091

00:01:23.998 --> 00:01:24.098
and let me do my work
