00:00:30.610 --> 00:00:33.934
Tonight is my last night in Mexico.

00:00:33.935 --> 00:00:38.838
How can I sleep tomorrow
they will put me on

00:00:38.839 --> 00:00:40.819
a boat bound for fascist Europe

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:44.999
wrenching me from the only place
that\'s ever felt like home.

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.854
I\'ve given away most of my belongings.

00:00:53.855 --> 00:00:56.193
I\'ll keep only what\'s most precious to me

00:00:56.194 --> 00:00:59.479
my camera and the memory
stored in these journals and

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:07.309
letters Mexico will always

00:01:07.310 --> 00:01:12.154
claim me no matter where I go
lie here and wait for the sun.

00:01:12.155 --> 00:01:18.270
With my eyes closed the past searches
up like the ashram to.. the petal

00:01:55.500 --> 00:02:00.099
I\'m 22 a part-time seamstress an actress.

00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:05.379
But my mind is ravenous I seek
out the poets and painters.

00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:09.999
The writers and visionaries
Bohemian soirees with oysters and

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.039
saggy I\'m at a party giddy from talk and

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:20.873
bootleg liquor when I feel his
look graze my back Edward Western

00:02:20.874 --> 00:02:28.309
the famous photographer and one\'s
ever looked at me so intensely before

00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:45.759
These are negatives that I will store in

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:48.848
a black envelope and and
bottom drawer in my desk.

00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:54.518
There between Tina and die to the outer
world that would only signal my betrayal

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.338
of wife and children but my marriage
is killing me and if I stay.

00:03:00.339 --> 00:03:04.883
I will mentally poison all
around me destroy them I work.

00:03:04.884 --> 00:03:06.619
Her

00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:18.529
You could say

00:03:18.530 --> 00:03:23.703
we were drawn by fate or serendipity
or by a love of adventure.

00:03:23.704 --> 00:03:29.790
You could say we were looking for a place
that matched our own capacity for reinvention

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:48.859
Avenida de libo drama trace Ghilani Annapolis
that Guba as short trolley rides from

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:56.860
the city Our house is borrowed
heavily shattered as if waiting

00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.939
attack the very first night
we were awakened by gunfire

00:04:00.940 --> 00:04:05.484
under our windows and then silence
not even audible footsteps.

00:04:05.485 --> 00:04:09.919
Are cook tells us the ghost
of Zapata still rides.

00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:16.478
Today I\'ve learned to
bargain at the Mikado like

00:04:16.479 --> 00:04:21.249
the most venerable sin yotta and we are
now equipped with Pueblo where for

00:04:21.250 --> 00:04:24.758
food and flowers to brass candle sticks for

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.794
three pesos each and though we
can hardly afford luxuries.

00:04:28.795 --> 00:04:33.489
A string of 18 amber beads
cheat but to pesos.

00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:37.350
Even on an empty stomach We need beauty.

00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:45.694
Here is life vital intense
black and white never Gray.

00:04:45.695 --> 00:04:50.464
I was tempted to go tourist with my
camera making snaps of street scenes.

00:04:50.465 --> 00:04:54.964
All seemed like a stage setting
unreal and hopelessly picturesque.

00:04:54.965 --> 00:05:00.870
But my work in Mexico will be a fight
to avoid its natural picturesque Nas

00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.269
The sun is so hot at

00:05:50.270 --> 00:05:57.814
noon 15 minutes and you lose boundaries
melt into the dust and Adobe.

00:05:57.815 --> 00:06:01.620
Just like Italy And child.

00:06:07.390 --> 00:06:15.390
He doesn\'t know how much I\'m giving him now
the arch of my back my head turn to the light

00:06:17.149 --> 00:06:25.149
withheld while he takes off the seconds
I never tire of watching her with

00:06:26.090 --> 00:06:30.078
all my other nudes I only wanted the
curve of a burst the light falling on

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.434
her belly and aesthetically
stimulating form but with Tina.

00:06:35.435 --> 00:06:40.369
I can\'t separate her body from her face
I shoot a dozen negatives and long

00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:48.370
sharp I held my breath while developing
the shadows are sharp and well-defined.

00:06:49.075 --> 00:06:52.114
Good contrast between
the flesh and blanket.

00:06:52.115 --> 00:06:54.798
The platinum paper makes printing slow and

00:06:54.799 --> 00:06:58.639
tedious but it gives the
final print very rich tones.

00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:02.969
Have to finish all printing
before our first public show

00:07:12.580 --> 00:07:17.163
I have done what I expect it
to do created a sensation.

00:07:17.164 --> 00:07:20.839
The attendance has been phenomenal including
many of the most important man in

00:07:20.840 --> 00:07:26.749
the city the intensity of the appreciation
has keyed me to a high pitch.

00:07:26.750 --> 00:07:30.679
Yet viewing my work day after day
on the walls as depressed me

00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.419
greatly to much pictorial
riparian obvious staging.

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:41.268
Too much under the influence of Stieglitz
the Prince of Tina in any case I approved

00:07:41.269 --> 00:07:44.929

00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:14.628
our studio invitations for dinners
drinks but most importantly dozens of

00:08:14.629 --> 00:08:22.623

00:09:39.229 --> 00:09:44.313
Monday Stephen stormed into the

00:09:44.314 --> 00:09:48.498
shouting done with
rebellious monkeys death to

00:09:48.499 --> 00:09:53.764
the arbiter of ugliness determined
to lynch the man himself.

00:09:53.765 --> 00:10:00.719
Now we watch as the painters clan the
scaffolds with large pistols in their pockets

00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:20.224
Here we love art so much
the government pays us

00:10:20.225 --> 00:10:24.288
eight bases a day like any
operator and this is how we

00:10:24.289 --> 00:10:27.649
will remember our revolution
here on the walls of

00:10:27.650 --> 00:10:31.368
every public building in Mexico.
Do you know why we

00:10:31.369 --> 00:10:36.528
worked 20 hours a day because we Mexicans
are forgetting already and the fighting

00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:44.104
early start three years ago Worker.

00:10:44.105 --> 00:10:45.529
But these are the workers of

00:10:45.530 --> 00:10:50.219
LeBlanc Buchanan who led the first
strikes against the dictatorship.

00:10:51.790 --> 00:10:56.058
Here are the 15 thousand who joined
Red battalions and to see to

00:10:56.059 --> 00:11:00.078
fight for labor rights rights
enshrined in our Constitution.

00:11:00.079 --> 00:11:04.879
Without them not general or politician could
win the revolution or keep themselves in

00:11:04.880 --> 00:11:12.798
power diego says Zapata and via should
never have handed over their arms.

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.638
He says President Reagan is a fox who will

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.328

with heavier accusing the ego
of romanticizing the Indian.

The countryside is in thrall

00:11:57.965 --> 00:12:02.358
It is the bastion of
reaction You are denying

Mexico lies with those whose faces are

first completed four of Edwards negatives.

00:12:23.614 --> 00:12:27.799
The best results so far have been
through fine-grained development.

00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:31.354
Using Amador with excess sodium sulfate.

00:12:31.355 --> 00:12:36.874
The details of the lights are just hinted
at and the darks are still differentiated.

00:12:36.875 --> 00:12:40.638
Will be up all night a dozen
studio portraits to print by

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:48.048
Monday Days pass monotonously

00:12:48.049 --> 00:12:52.203
trying to make an ancient American
woman look like a Spanish than eureka.

00:12:52.204 --> 00:12:54.288
I suffer and my body is

00:12:54.289 --> 00:12:59.569
cramped with the advertisement

00:12:59.570 --> 00:13:04.803
in a newspaper or a 100
sins atomos rent 800 paper.

00:13:04.804 --> 00:13:09.438

moralism but we can hardly afford

00:13:23.750 --> 00:13:31.750
it What are the roots that clatch what

00:13:33.670 --> 00:13:38.408
branch has grow out of this
stony rubbish Son of Man you

00:13:38.409 --> 00:13:43.794
cannot say or guess for you know
only a heap of broken images

00:13:43.795 --> 00:13:48.788
where the sun beats and the dead
tree gives no shelter the cricket no

00:13:48.789 --> 00:13:56.663
relief the dry stone no sound of water
only there is shadow under this red rock.

00:13:56.664 --> 00:13:58.538
Come in under the shadow of

00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:06.368
this red rock Edward and I have long
planned a series with me reciting poetry.

00:14:06.369 --> 00:14:14.369
A treasured past-time for both of us We
go through 203040 graphlets negatives.

00:14:15.670 --> 00:14:19.419
It\'s as if he will never
stop as if there was always

00:14:19.420 --> 00:14:24.409
something a caprice of face
and light put a new Tim.

00:14:27.870 --> 00:14:31.328
When you start looking
closely at the world.

00:14:31.329 --> 00:14:35.498
Everything around you seems
alive and dance with meeting.

00:14:35.499 --> 00:14:40.868
Observe interpret dreams and
philosophies and a spike

00:14:40.869 --> 00:14:46.639
of cactus delirious passions in
the petals of a lowly flower

00:14:56.820 --> 00:15:01.268
I borrow Edwards camera while he\'s
supervising the final bath in

00:15:01.269 --> 00:15:08.609
the darkroom I put the plate in and
looked down through the ground glass.

00:15:08.610 --> 00:15:15.350
A strange upside down world comes into
focus I press the shutter and count.

00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:35.928
Developing these in the dark room
later I suddenly realized that

00:15:35.929 --> 00:15:40.638
the bellows cutoff the left corner of
every image each completely ruined.

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:45.528
I am so easily distracted when working
out of doors and frustrated by

00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:53.529
my failure Edward is

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:59.239
showing six photographs under
the auspices of movie mental S3

00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.904
than dista the S3 dentist
does believe in a New Mexico.

00:16:03.905 --> 00:16:09.439
Of turbines and Pistons electric
pylons and motorcycles.

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:14.659
We drink wine and smoke in their cafe
till the air is so hese who can\'t see

00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:19.773
the poets Edward was not very impressed.

00:16:19.774 --> 00:16:27.199
He abhors retouching and Artistic Effects
photography he says has its purity.

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.098
But I was fascinated by
their experiments and

00:16:31.099 --> 00:16:34.219
I\'m eager to explore the
possibilities of double exposure.

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:38.550
Using the cameras and
Mechanical Industrial i

00:17:18.610 --> 00:17:21.649
At last the revolution has caught up with

00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:25.159
us wires are caught between
here and very cuz trains

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.769
are halted except those two
El Paso which are filled with

00:17:27.770 --> 00:17:31.084
fleeing American\'s food prices are soaring.

00:17:31.085 --> 00:17:34.158
Something must happen soon we will be

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:40.894
stranded February third a dear friend

00:17:40.895 --> 00:17:45.888
a general in the Federal army commandeers a
car and we asked to be taken on his rounds.

00:17:45.889 --> 00:17:50.219
I wanted to see for myself what
is happening in the countryside

00:18:01.150 --> 00:18:06.498
arriving at a village we found
it barricaded awaiting arrayed

00:18:06.499 --> 00:18:11.869
two days before de la huerta had
attacked and taken away some 30 horses.

00:18:11.870 --> 00:18:13.413
Now on the roof.

00:18:13.414 --> 00:18:18.019
Behind sand bags soldiers
leaned on their rifles.

00:18:18.020 --> 00:18:20.209
We wished them courage and left

00:18:20.210 --> 00:18:27.210
quickly We only stop to set up our
cameras by the side of the road.

00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:34.849
I managed a quick composition
of the Nepal I believe I am

00:18:34.850 --> 00:18:40.890
starting to see in monochrome and not be
blinded by the colors which surround us

00:18:52.330 --> 00:18:57.018
McCurry though Edward leader
it is the greatest of

00:18:57.019 --> 00:19:01.534
all gifts he could have given
me my very own four by five

00:19:01.535 --> 00:19:07.794
Corona April third 18-24

00:19:07.795 --> 00:19:14.719
today I set up my precious corona on the
Acetaia focus the lens and press the shutter.

00:19:21.270 --> 00:19:24.890
It was a picture of myself

00:19:46.900 --> 00:19:50.494
Edward and the others
move off into the desert.

00:19:50.495 --> 00:19:54.019
But I prefer to stay inside the
walls of the convent where

00:19:54.020 --> 00:19:57.409
it\'s cool a still world of lightness and

00:19:57.410 --> 00:19:59.070
dark

00:20:17.590 --> 00:20:18.963
Tina

00:20:18.964 --> 00:20:21.348
printed her most interesting abstraction.

00:20:21.349 --> 00:20:24.918
She printed from an enlarged
positive so she has a negative Brent

00:20:24.919 --> 00:20:28.384
and shows it upside down All
of which sounds Faki and

00:20:28.385 --> 00:20:32.538
may not be the best use of photography
but it really is very genuine

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:38.039
and one feels no striving no sweat
as in The Man Ray experiments

00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:26.869
We celebrated our first year
in Mexico with me holding

00:21:26.870 --> 00:21:31.248
a dusty bunch of roses while
husband Edward endeavored to keep

00:21:31.249 --> 00:21:35.959
a straight face incredible to think
it\'s been a year already and

00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:41.089
how I\'ve come to a door this city with
its Aztec Ruins and sinking buildings.

00:21:41.090 --> 00:21:47.688
It\'s passionate politics and indescribable
light all now as familiar as the haunts of

00:21:47.689 --> 00:21:55.689
my childhood The newsmen

00:21:57.580 --> 00:22:02.393
Italy is not good mom mice terrified
for the family back in Houdini.

00:22:02.394 --> 00:22:06.739
All known to the black shirts
as anarchists and reds.

00:22:07.530 --> 00:22:11.379
There are a few of us
Italian exiles here we\'re

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:14.634
organizing an anti-fascist
rally on Saturday.

00:22:14.635 --> 00:22:22.635
Leave unless solidarity that
Internacional October 19-21

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:27.578
for clouds have been tempting me

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:32.978
again next to the recording of a fugitive
expression is there anything more elusive to

00:22:32.979 --> 00:22:36.588
capture them Cloud Forms The trouble

00:22:36.589 --> 00:22:40.308
is this the slight tone of
the stock is just enough to

00:22:40.309 --> 00:22:43.758
destroy the more subtle
gradations now admitted

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.008
one peculiarity of the
summer clouds here is

00:22:46.009 --> 00:22:48.738
the way in which they are
cut out against the sky.

00:22:48.739 --> 00:22:54.870
Still there is an exaggeration in
my print that is not satisfactory.

00:23:07.450 --> 00:23:12.409
He catches me on my way up to my
little room of the Acetaia it\'s

00:23:12.410 --> 00:23:17.153
seven AM and I\'ve just come down
for cigarettes and coffee paper

00:23:17.154 --> 00:23:21.769
A young art and never is waiting
for me in bed but Edward claims

00:23:21.770 --> 00:23:27.509
the lightest perfect holds me here while
he moves the tripod one more time

00:23:36.010 --> 00:23:41.119
I see them staring at her the
handshakes they embraces that last

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:45.049
a beat two long damage he
can\'t walk across the room

00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:49.713
light a cigarette lean over to serve
pasta and it becomes a sexual display.

00:23:49.714 --> 00:23:52.789
They sniff and she papers.

00:23:52.790 --> 00:23:55.188
Next time I\'ll pick a mistress as ugly as

00:23:55.189 --> 00:24:03.189
hell Did I tell

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:10.458
you I was 13 when I worked in the
silk factory in 3S in Italy.

00:24:10.459 --> 00:24:17.929
I boiled off the saracens melting cocoon
glues off threads made my fingers red and

00:24:17.930 --> 00:24:22.039
swollen and I reached the silk was used

00:24:22.040 --> 00:24:27.689
enrich women\'s kimono has is fine
and delicate as a second skin.

00:24:37.030 --> 00:24:45.030
He\'s watching me today and is look
rooms like a knife I know he has

00:24:45.249 --> 00:24:49.388
his own flirtation even with are
made and makes no attempt to

00:24:49.389 --> 00:24:55.190
hide her adoration I don\'t
understand his coldness.

00:24:56.580 --> 00:25:01.688
I wanted to give him something
he\'s never seen before his face in

00:25:01.689 --> 00:25:07.028
the morning light the flash of his
back as he sits in his cold bath.

00:25:07.029 --> 00:25:11.828
But Edward refused he won\'t
let me catch him unawares.

00:25:11.829 --> 00:25:16.494
So I dress him up pose and
was the great artist.

00:25:16.495 --> 00:25:22.268
Do I look like Stieglitz he laughs
gesturing for me to lower the tripod.

00:25:22.269 --> 00:25:30.269
Yes Master I joke He gazes into the
distance it\'s the direction he\'s going

00:25:55.630 --> 00:25:59.688
in a day the flower will turn yellow.

00:25:59.689 --> 00:26:01.383
The stems droop.

00:26:01.384 --> 00:26:03.394
The curl fade.

00:26:03.395 --> 00:26:11.395
I press my shatter against time Against decay
against life which changes continuously.

00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:20.574
I should want no more than there\'s a moment
out of time when a form become sublime.

00:26:20.575 --> 00:26:24.543
But I\'m restless I paste the floor.

00:26:24.544 --> 00:26:27.738
I smoked too much I go to visit

00:26:27.739 --> 00:26:35.673
Diego he invites me to a screening
at the Russian embassy.

00:26:35.674 --> 00:26:39.319
It\'s like nothing I\'ve ever seen a film

00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:43.129
bursting with the intensity of
life and with characters who have

00:26:43.130 --> 00:26:44.659
real history etched on

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:52.660
their faces I woke this morning with
those images still haunting my dreams.

00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:07.200
Right there B that I work with
Diego\'s educators and how heavy

00:27:07.769 --> 00:27:12.108
it is seeing the cathode the
entity Steph\'s life is short

00:27:12.109 --> 00:27:16.804
and art is long Edward always
said but he really Mexico.

00:27:16.805 --> 00:27:20.898
One has only to step into the street
to be caught in a moving stream of

00:27:20.899 --> 00:27:25.309
history I felt the presence
of life around me for

00:27:25.310 --> 00:27:30.919
a moment I thought I would be crashed and
threw my arms around the camera Every time

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.948
I looked up the crowd swelled before me
another regiment of colors and banners.

00:27:36.949 --> 00:27:40.950
Have yet it took the
tripod and it walked on

00:27:45.730 --> 00:27:51.903
September 15th well I willed myself
back in Mexico again and here I am

00:27:51.904 --> 00:27:54.529
Tina is more and more
occupied these days with

00:27:54.530 --> 00:27:58.713
anti-imperialist social work but
I\'m becoming a reactionary.

00:27:58.714 --> 00:28:01.278
Too much sentimentality
over the proletariat.

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:03.948
Too much deification of the Indian.

00:28:03.949 --> 00:28:07.698
What incentive is there
to excel in justice as

00:28:07.699 --> 00:28:13.799
a stronger way a weaklings
or weeded out Fifth survive.

00:28:16.120 --> 00:28:20.688
I had so long to have Edward
back but now that he is

00:28:20.689 --> 00:28:25.579
finally here he seems withdrawn distance we

00:28:25.580 --> 00:28:28.878
throw ourselves into our
work I\'ve been doing

00:28:28.879 --> 00:28:32.719
a series lately on industrial
images of Mexico and have been

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.118
traveling through all
corners of the city and

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:40.729
environs Mexico is a country
of such extreme contrasts.

00:28:40.730 --> 00:28:43.849
One day you can see it Campesino plowing by

00:28:43.850 --> 00:28:48.528
hand and then arrive at a factory
which springs up out of nowhere.

00:28:48.529 --> 00:28:52.204
I\'m trying to capture some
of that modernizing impulse.

00:28:52.205 --> 00:28:57.929
Through my angles And through the framing
of dynamic lines and two outlines.

00:29:04.540 --> 00:29:07.838
I\'ve been photographing our toilet.

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.004
Like glossy and enameled receptacle
of extraordinary beauty.

00:29:12.005 --> 00:29:15.679
My excitement was absolute
aesthetic response to form

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:19.699
here was the sensuous curve
of the human form divine.

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:21.723
But minus imperfections.

00:29:21.724 --> 00:29:26.329
Never did the Greeks reach a more significant
conservation to their culture and it\'s

00:29:26.330 --> 00:29:31.279
somehow reminded me in the glory of its
swelling sweeping forward movement

00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:34.139
of the Victory of Samothrace

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:43.398
I smoke the last of tennis
cigarettes although I\'d vote to

00:29:43.399 --> 00:29:49.758
quit the streets are full of rumors of a new
and possibly the worst outbreak of violence.

00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:53.118
If this is so I would turn to California at

00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:57.634
once it\'s six AM

00:29:57.635 --> 00:30:02.969
and I hear the lock on the door and Tina
coming in but the downstairs patio.

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:07.889
Life isn\'t ministry to me now

00:30:19.810 --> 00:30:23.433
Morning came clear and brilliant.

00:30:23.434 --> 00:30:28.909
I will do some heads of you today Tina
Mexican son will reveal everything.

00:30:28.910 --> 00:30:32.719
Nothing can be hidden under
this cloudless cruel sky.

00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.243
Let me see if 161 tenth of a second.

00:30:36.244 --> 00:30:39.618
How calculated it sounds it
really how spontaneous and

00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:43.999
genuine For have so overcome the mechanics
of my camera that I feel it responding

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:46.559
intuitively to my desires.

00:30:46.570 --> 00:30:52.968
She leaned against a whitewashed
wall and drew close And kissed

00:30:52.969 --> 00:31:00.029
her tear rolled down her cheek and
then I captured the moment forever

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:40.039
February first 19-26.

00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:45.798
Today the radical Central Union the CGT
marched against President Gaius and

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.528
his reactionary version of unionism

00:31:48.529 --> 00:31:53.434
more and more people are joining the
opposition to graft and corruption.

00:31:53.435 --> 00:31:58.079
These days you mark your politics
with your body in the street.

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:07.234
For 25 pesos I purchased a rapid
lens and our cheaply made shutter.

00:32:07.235 --> 00:32:12.394
The graph Lex and tripod up to the
Acetaia ready to face life afresh.

00:32:12.395 --> 00:32:17.429
For you from fog and flair. She is there

00:32:25.560 --> 00:32:31.069
He hasn\'t touched me for months but
he will watch me through the camera.

00:32:33.300 --> 00:32:40.509
He doesn\'t want my face gestures for me
to turn in an arch my back freeze He

00:32:40.510 --> 00:32:48.510
says The Stones are cutting into my
knees but I hold for 203040 seconds.

00:32:50.850 --> 00:32:55.569
I\'ve wanted to give him
so much is this all we

00:32:55.570 --> 00:33:00.739
share a thin skin of emulsion
as ephemeral as light

00:33:08.830 --> 00:33:12.918
I was shaving when Anita Brenner
came hardly expecting her on

00:33:12.919 --> 00:33:15.979
such a gloomy drizzling
day I told her she would

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:20.088
shiver and the unneeded
room but she took no hints.

00:33:20.089 --> 00:33:23.268
The session lasted nearly a
day and I convinced West and

00:33:23.269 --> 00:33:26.178
to do the photo illustrations from
my book though I gather Tina will

00:33:26.179 --> 00:33:29.028
be assisting I can\'t
easily put Tina down as

00:33:29.029 --> 00:33:32.329
a friend but do look on her
numerous and easy liaisons with

00:33:32.330 --> 00:33:34.758
grudging envy Tina deems

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:36.888
my work perfect publicity and paints me a

00:33:36.889 --> 00:33:39.888
vulgar scheming adventurous who
knows nothing of painting.

00:33:39.889 --> 00:33:41.419
More and more she is turning into

00:33:41.420 --> 00:33:46.380
a grand Don Diego\'s little megaphone
Vail important having an enemy.

00:33:53.300 --> 00:33:58.188
We now what happens when they\'re
wet though we\'re off for

00:33:58.189 --> 00:34:02.853
four months taking photographs for our neat
his book on Mexican art and artifacts.

00:34:02.854 --> 00:34:08.269
We sleep and rickety beds with bugs or corner
of ourselves serving as our dark room we

00:34:08.270 --> 00:34:11.118
scrap the camera to the
backs of manuals setting up

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:15.169
the graph flex in ancient
sites in forlorn villages.

00:34:15.170 --> 00:34:19.848
I\'ve never been this far into
the anterior past the slopes of

00:34:19.849 --> 00:34:25.069
the Sierra Madre we meet daily with the
Incontrovertible truths that the deepest

00:34:25.070 --> 00:34:32.673
enriches Mexico is Indian Edward get\'s
flustered when people crowd his frame

00:34:32.674 --> 00:34:36.649
fumbles over the language turns
his camera the other way but I

00:34:36.650 --> 00:34:41.909
loved the street with its vibrant
rash of music and everyday life

00:34:52.720 --> 00:34:56.644
the countryside is like
a great dark tidal wave

00:34:56.645 --> 00:35:01.353
President gaze has closed all Catholic
schools and deported hundreds of priests.

00:35:01.354 --> 00:35:03.679
The forces of reaction are armed and

00:35:03.680 --> 00:35:08.014
massing ironic that so many are
desperately poor campesinos

00:35:08.015 --> 00:35:10.608
Prepared to die in defense
of a church that wield

00:35:10.609 --> 00:35:15.483
such tyrannical power over them
while the harder was not gay.

00:35:15.484 --> 00:35:19.968
What city could be during this crisis
street fighting between soldiers and

00:35:19.969 --> 00:35:25.159
Catholics the majority women armed
with bricks clubs machetes ended in

00:35:25.160 --> 00:35:31.188
bloodshed and death the secrecy
was closed locked them sealed by

00:35:31.189 --> 00:35:34.669
the government if we enter the
church some fanatical old hag

00:35:34.670 --> 00:35:39.300
would follow where a crowd of solid
phases would I or activities

00:35:50.170 --> 00:35:53.058
In order to up and we\'d start for

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:56.253
cafecon Nietzsche and there
were the newspaper headlines.

00:35:56.254 --> 00:36:00.588
To Mexican engineer\'s suspected
of being government informers

00:36:00.589 --> 00:36:05.069
were lynched in on-camera Edward is
afraid the same fate may be fall

00:36:05.070 --> 00:36:12.738
us Mexico breaks one\'s
heart mixed with Love was

00:36:12.739 --> 00:36:16.098
a growing bitterness hatred I tried hard to

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:20.589
resist travel weary we

00:36:20.590 --> 00:36:25.009
are finally back in Mexico City and
working furiously in the dark room.

00:36:25.010 --> 00:36:28.770
This trip has worn out something between us

00:36:40.570 --> 00:36:46.294
Have delivered for a 150 prints from the
negative is done on the last leg of our journey.

00:36:46.295 --> 00:36:49.339
Adding those from Pueblo and
what haka have yet to finish and

00:36:49.340 --> 00:36:52.218
other 200 I\'m now anxious to

00:36:52.219 --> 00:37:00.219
leave November second Day of the Dead finished
printing Edward series from bots quadro.

00:37:01.549 --> 00:37:04.849
I\'ve always loved that quality
of haunting emptiness and

00:37:04.850 --> 00:37:08.764
Edwards work but here it feels erian cold.

00:37:08.765 --> 00:37:16.765
As if he\'s already left Mexico This time has
going was not heartbreaking but bittersweet.

00:37:19.309 --> 00:37:24.690
What Datalab is 12 remains
the rest is dress

00:37:40.300 --> 00:37:43.293
Maria Aurasma comes over.

00:37:43.294 --> 00:37:47.148
She brings a gallon of wine and
gramophone recordings that

00:37:47.149 --> 00:37:52.009
the latest consonant is we
are soon gloriously cheat

00:37:52.010 --> 00:37:58.879
this I take her in my arms and we dance

00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:06.243
and dance until the sun comes up
of what the pattern is beautiful.

00:38:06.244 --> 00:38:13.769
It\'s strung dramatic features and amass as
wide and generous as a ripe patois Kathy

00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:49.819
I\'ve not been very creative lately.

00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:53.088
I am convinced that as far
as creation is concerned.

00:38:53.089 --> 00:38:55.849
Women lack the power of concentration and

00:38:55.850 --> 00:38:59.658
the facility to be wholly
absorbed by one thing.

00:38:59.659 --> 00:39:05.388
Am I being too rash perhaps posing for
Diego has given me too much time to

00:39:05.389 --> 00:39:13.389
reflect Diego\'s assistant Javier

00:39:14.690 --> 00:39:17.479
is always watching in
the background grinding

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:22.350
the pigment Snaking the
lime melting the resin.

00:39:22.570 --> 00:39:27.498
Have yet disapproves of Diego
these two promiscuous.

00:39:27.499 --> 00:39:30.708
Too full of appetite and ego for the party.

00:39:30.709 --> 00:39:33.694
Only last week Diego chipped out to

00:39:33.695 --> 00:39:37.458
habeas murals at the Secretary
of Education to make room for

00:39:37.459 --> 00:39:45.459
his own Tina did you know that over a million
people died for the revolution and Mexico.

00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:51.963
Only half by the bullet arrest by typhus
starvation and the greed of the generals.

00:39:51.964 --> 00:39:56.508
Every political heavy scenes will tell
you the revolution is over we have

00:39:56.509 --> 00:40:01.219
one Put down your arms We will
look after you but in Mexico.

00:40:01.220 --> 00:40:04.578
That revolution is only a beautiful dream.

00:40:04.579 --> 00:40:09.558
Go into the countryside the barrios
the land is dry or children are

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:15.454
dying and we are all ghosts and
Phantoms that evolution is our future.

00:40:15.455 --> 00:40:17.610
Not our past

00:40:25.630 --> 00:40:27.888
February first

00:40:27.889 --> 00:40:32.370
1927 Bolonia balsa two in the afternoon.

00:40:32.710 --> 00:40:37.399
There doesn\'t children following
Javier and I barefoot and

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:42.483
hungry begging for syntax
I emptied my pockets.

00:40:42.484 --> 00:40:47.280
I\'m dusty and hot and my
tears won\'t stop flowing.

00:40:49.870 --> 00:40:57.870
Work this

00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:01.759
is a new challenge for photography.

00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:06.048
How to see a face not just in
relation to the inner world of

00:41:06.049 --> 00:41:10.429
the individual but as a map for
a history of exploitation.

00:41:10.430 --> 00:41:15.558
It\'s all there the promise
is broken the 400 years of

00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:23.559
servitude I\'ve talked with

00:41:23.600 --> 00:41:27.558
Diego and have yet all day I
wanted to be clear to all

00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:31.728
that my joining the party is not the
result of my loving a revolutionary.

00:41:31.729 --> 00:41:36.079
Something external but is the result
of a very deep commitment inside

00:41:36.080 --> 00:41:41.059
myself I asked if I could join
the brigades organizing and

00:41:41.060 --> 00:41:49.060
colonia borsa but they said no it was
no place for a woman peanut speaks at

00:41:49.730 --> 00:41:52.774
the anti-fascist Rally
before thousands and we are

00:41:52.775 --> 00:41:59.508
riveted she is not like Mexican women
oppressed by the church bound by convention.

00:41:59.509 --> 00:42:05.974
I\'m an enemy of tyranny deny Christ and
we rise to our feet Our fists in the air.

00:42:05.975 --> 00:42:11.029
She\'s fearless than
magnetic iWatch and already

00:42:11.030 --> 00:42:16.639
she\'s changing her hair pulled
back very close modest.

00:42:16.640 --> 00:42:20.099
Or eyes flashing with passion.

00:42:37.120 --> 00:42:41.524
I like to think of these as
poems to the revolution.

00:42:41.525 --> 00:42:44.688
Maybe these are two obvious
as a needed Brenner

00:42:44.689 --> 00:42:49.128
says Bound a slogan earring and
the rhetoric of simple truths.

00:42:49.129 --> 00:42:54.033
But what can a photographer do
Javier and diego have their walls

00:42:54.034 --> 00:42:59.179
but I have only a small rectangular
frame I took hours in the studio with

00:42:59.180 --> 00:43:03.078
these arranging alight so
precisely there is just a hint of

00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:08.850
a shadow which lends the objects
are very powerful symbolic feeling

00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:18.903
Francis tour and I are off
for a week to wonder Beck

00:43:18.904 --> 00:43:23.449
shooting photos for her journal
Mexican folk ways I close

00:43:23.450 --> 00:43:26.404
my eyes and move backwards into time

00:43:26.405 --> 00:43:32.628
Cortez back to the heart of
Diego\'s mythic Mexico the land of

00:43:32.629 --> 00:43:36.048
sceptic makes take chichi make

00:43:36.049 --> 00:43:44.049
us Francis

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:46.279
and I

00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:48.558
change into Cauchy pants and shirts for

00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:52.729
our fieldwork and Joe could how
invigorating it would be to defect to

00:43:52.730 --> 00:43:58.398
the matriarchy here and they wanted to pick
God knows I need to simplify my life with

00:43:58.399 --> 00:44:06.399
men here are the famous women of
philanthropic beautiful and strong.

00:44:06.635 --> 00:44:14.635
As graceful as dancers I\'ve never seen women
as proud and sure of their movements as

00:44:16.399 --> 00:44:23.869
Frank and tender in there
look I\'ve been thinking

00:44:23.870 --> 00:44:26.794
lately that my ideal is a perfect snapshot

00:44:26.795 --> 00:44:32.298
the moving quality of life rather than still
studies but nothing could be more difficult.

00:44:32.299 --> 00:44:35.913
Each time I have to rush to
find my frame and exposure.

00:44:35.914 --> 00:44:39.934
No times do a calculation
I\'ll just average at F11.

00:44:39.935 --> 00:44:43.189
Suddenly they spot me a
strange creature under

00:44:43.190 --> 00:44:47.730
a dark cloth and the speed
by like birds in flight.

00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:55.263
Only with much friendlier persuasion
Pause I promise them prints.

00:44:55.264 --> 00:45:01.638
They promise to make me into a real woman
I joined the long line of my sisters

00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:03.889
here with Indigo Cotton against

00:45:03.890 --> 00:45:09.419
my breasts and the delicious brash
of a full skirt against my legs.

00:45:09.730 --> 00:45:13.878
Here I am in longshot holding
the cable release behind

00:45:13.879 --> 00:45:21.079
my back back in

00:45:21.080 --> 00:45:22.999
the city in a flurry of meetings and

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.468
party activities with a host of new
photo assignments for L machete.

00:45:27.469 --> 00:45:32.509
M now absolutely determined to work in a
different way and have resolved to sell

00:45:32.510 --> 00:45:39.060
the corona It breaks my heart to part with
it but I need the money to buy a graphics.

00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:44.538
I\'ve always been two restrained
in my work with a three by four

00:45:44.539 --> 00:45:48.348
reflex I\'ll be able to loosen
up it\'s a lighter camera and

00:45:48.349 --> 00:45:49.699
much more useful for work in

00:45:49.700 --> 00:45:57.700
the field have yet and I to party
congress in kalapa Chihuahuas

00:45:58.129 --> 00:46:02.509
to meet with radical rural groups become

00:46:02.510 --> 00:46:07.204
busy knows have organized literacy brigades
and categories here since the revolution

00:46:07.205 --> 00:46:10.278
16 years ago they took over
a haciendo to run it as

00:46:10.279 --> 00:46:18.279
a cooperative I frame them from a low
angle against the sky heroic and proud.

00:46:20.224 --> 00:46:24.109
They are more curious than
Shai a lady photographer

00:46:24.110 --> 00:46:28.278
wearing pants smoking
like a fiend I crouch in

00:46:28.279 --> 00:46:32.029
the shadows while they arrange their
setup is and look directly into

00:46:32.030 --> 00:46:40.030
the camera I move tighter on the boy.

00:46:40.190 --> 00:46:44.448
Using the band of the Sombrero
was a strong formal accent.

00:46:44.449 --> 00:46:47.358
At the end of the day they are my brothers.

00:46:47.359 --> 00:46:50.019
We class pans and toasts up at

00:46:50.020 --> 00:46:55.039
that Our return the Central Committee

00:46:55.040 --> 00:46:57.529
informed us that heavy edit
will be sent to Moscow for

00:46:57.530 --> 00:46:59.239
three years for cavalry training at

00:46:59.240 --> 00:47:04.140
the London School I will miss them
terribly but will say nothing

00:47:08.650 --> 00:47:13.128
I fill my loneliness with
work there is always

00:47:13.129 --> 00:47:18.109
work finishing article and photo
layout for n much athe I take

00:47:18.110 --> 00:47:22.729
a photograph a man his
clothes ragged sits on

00:47:22.730 --> 00:47:27.738
the edge of a city street and buries his
face in his hands I take another of

00:47:27.739 --> 00:47:31.249
a billboard for elegant men\'s
clothing and print them together as

00:47:31.250 --> 00:47:37.159
a collage rich and poor Indian
and Blanco Intransigent divide

00:47:37.160 --> 00:47:40.909
of classes in Mexico the
contrast is obvious of

00:47:40.910 --> 00:47:45.199
course but it is effective propaganda
and I do believe photography

00:47:45.200 --> 00:47:48.228
has the most radical potential precisely

00:47:48.229 --> 00:47:51.799
because it can only be produced
in the present and because it is

00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:54.888
based on what exists before
the camera photography

00:47:54.889 --> 00:47:59.699
cannot avoid life in all
its harshness and chaos.

00:48:00.220 --> 00:48:02.748
I remember asking.

00:48:02.749 --> 00:48:04.834
But Tina What about beauty.

00:48:04.835 --> 00:48:08.913
Shouldn\'t your proletariat had the right
to elegant flowers and landscapes

00:48:08.914 --> 00:48:13.338
Anita She said I prefer
truth to beauty but for her

00:48:13.339 --> 00:48:16.939
that was beauty in the struggle and in
the faces and gestures of the people she

00:48:16.940 --> 00:48:19.239
loved She started printing on

00:48:19.240 --> 00:48:22.973
the less expensive gelatin paper
and refused wealthy collectors.

00:48:22.974 --> 00:48:26.559
But for me she would always be an idealist.

00:48:26.560 --> 00:48:34.560
Not a stalwart Sundays meant
again at cyclic diarrhea.

00:48:36.624 --> 00:48:42.458
More fragments of the new frescoes Diego
is so enthusiastic about my copies that he

00:48:42.459 --> 00:48:45.399
would like me to even repeat
the ones look bursa had done

00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.044
already too big a job
however and I said No.

00:48:49.045 --> 00:48:52.778
I\'ve made a series of postcards
of the murals and I\'m selling

00:48:52.779 --> 00:48:56.138
them 50 Cent Davos the lately
I have my doubts about

00:48:56.139 --> 00:49:00.068
Diego\'s work he comments too much lately he

00:49:00.069 --> 00:49:05.434
paints Irritating precision you
leaves nothing for one\'s imagination.

00:49:05.435 --> 00:49:08.224
I prefer R-squares murals.

00:49:08.225 --> 00:49:11.688
His things overflow with
an inner potentiality.

00:49:11.689 --> 00:49:14.700
Which whenever feels in Diego

00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:24.003
suddenly we found ourselves before

00:49:24.004 --> 00:49:28.938
a beautiful unkind suffragette that among
suffragettes may be the only one that is

00:49:28.939 --> 00:49:32.769
beautiful and kind Miss although
the distressed and adopt

00:49:32.770 --> 00:49:35.209
the ellipse soup hi next sip blouse

00:49:35.210 --> 00:49:38.119
and smokes one of her favorite
at when donuts cigarettes.

00:49:38.120 --> 00:49:40.699
The enigmatic and suggestive eyes of

00:49:40.700 --> 00:49:44.209
the great artist flesh with
brilliance She tells us she hates

00:49:44.210 --> 00:49:47.088
really touching likes big
cities and loves all things

00:49:47.089 --> 00:49:50.583
Mexican Jia She also sort of
marvelous and reproductions.

00:49:50.584 --> 00:49:53.269
Frankly we do not know
which the tools we are

00:49:53.270 --> 00:49:56.148
enthused by the composition
of heads which filed before

00:49:56.149 --> 00:50:02.730
our eyes lacking those ridiculous poses so
manipulated by fault that photographers.

00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:10.369
All modo de notice of photography
she attributes the word teacher

00:50:10.370 --> 00:50:14.269
Edward Western but for
me she\'s more abstract.

00:50:14.270 --> 00:50:16.728
More intellectual more thoroughly online

00:50:16.729 --> 00:50:21.873
western Western was always worried you\'re
surrendering himself to the picturesque.

00:50:21.874 --> 00:50:24.319
But we\'d modality this
problem did not present

00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:28.039
itself She was able to enter a
more quickly into the essence of

00:50:28.040 --> 00:50:30.499
Mexico or 2-3 beneath its crude or

00:50:30.500 --> 00:50:37.489
external He speaks in

00:50:37.490 --> 00:50:42.543
the Zuccarello and we swoon
Julio Antonio mania.

00:50:42.544 --> 00:50:48.604
He of the green eyes and skin Golden
is the Cuban beaches he comes from.

00:50:48.605 --> 00:50:52.069
He has a zealous passion
about everything and that

00:50:52.070 --> 00:50:55.938
frightens me Just when I had
worked so hard to arrange

00:50:55.939 --> 00:50:59.029
my life he sweeps by with all the force of

00:50:59.030 --> 00:51:07.030
a tornado Julio writes a dozen articles
for a machete that will save the world.

00:51:08.720 --> 00:51:12.903
He talks of literacy programs
and the power of the word.

00:51:12.904 --> 00:51:18.154
He believes in the word that he\'s
typewriter is as powerful as a gun.

00:51:18.155 --> 00:51:24.449
He plays it all day staccato fortissimo.
Comes to bed

00:51:59.460 --> 00:52:05.048
In the morning we walk into the soft
light as the metadata has just opened.

00:52:05.049 --> 00:52:10.854
Every day there is a new wave of campesinos
driven off their land who arrive in the city.

00:52:10.855 --> 00:52:14.108
Looking for work willing
to do or sell anything to

00:52:14.109 --> 00:52:19.638
survive Julio carries my
tripod Joking that he is

00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:26.579
my assistant and protege we walk on
seeing the city change before us

00:52:29.080 --> 00:52:33.633
today the government brought up
troops against a demonstration

00:52:33.634 --> 00:52:37.579
we march we write we go to meetings how

00:52:37.580 --> 00:52:41.418
feeble it sometimes seems
how diluted we are to

00:52:41.419 --> 00:52:46.889
think that passionate expression and
BUT could shield a body from a bullet.

00:52:48.820 --> 00:52:53.778
We always imagine that we would fight
to the death that violence would be

00:52:53.779 --> 00:52:59.449
the final cathartic orgasm of our revolution
for most of us our remainder fantasy.

00:52:59.450 --> 00:53:07.450
But not for me September fifteenth

00:53:07.730 --> 00:53:12.123
nineteen twenty eight Julio despite
all my arguments and pleading

00:53:12.124 --> 00:53:17.059
has left this morning for veteran crews
to organize a gorilla expedition to Cuba.

00:53:17.060 --> 00:53:23.089
Got nums of I will ever see him
alive again Denise sigma you can

00:53:23.090 --> 00:53:25.008
imagine that your face never left me during

00:53:25.009 --> 00:53:29.118
the entire journey but you know
nothing do you understand.

00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:33.078
Nothing if any of the Party cadre
knew what we were doing they would

00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:37.168
explain our YOU we have
an hour before we smuggle

00:53:37.169 --> 00:53:40.878
the weapons or bought this sad
one chance one mother was out

a well-behaved Gombei than Mexico.

00:53:48.430 --> 00:53:50.479
I love you

00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:58.480
Julio Thursday January

00:54:00.680 --> 00:54:05.328
tenth 19298 p.m. julio when I leave

00:54:05.329 --> 00:54:10.008
a meeting at International Red
aid Julio enters a cafe to meet

00:54:10.009 --> 00:54:12.889
a Cuban exile who promised
information on much either

00:54:12.890 --> 00:54:16.009
but Cuban dictator Julio learns that

00:54:16.010 --> 00:54:22.833
to Cuban gunman had come to town
with orders to kill him 09:28 PM.

00:54:22.834 --> 00:54:26.268
We enter independency a
street Turn left on bugged

00:54:26.269 --> 00:54:34.269
us 940 p.m. we round the
corner to Abraham\'s Gonzales.

00:54:35.254 --> 00:54:43.254
I hear two shots and
feel him fall at 140 AM.

00:54:44.930 --> 00:54:48.739
After two hours of emergency
surgery Julio dies and

00:54:48.740 --> 00:54:55.909
my arms Francis brings
my camera to the morgue.

00:54:55.910 --> 00:54:59.898
I have 15 minutes before they take
me back to the police station.

00:54:59.899 --> 00:55:02.824
My hands take on a life of their own.

00:55:02.825 --> 00:55:05.823
They put in the negative Find the aperture.

00:55:05.824 --> 00:55:10.099
Press the shutter They do
this against time against

00:55:10.100 --> 00:55:15.420
death against the ferocity
of a loss I will never bear.

00:55:17.170 --> 00:55:20.748
I haven\'t slept for days
and they won\'t let me go

00:55:20.749 --> 00:55:25.459
home I walk them through the
murder scene again and again

00:55:25.460 --> 00:55:29.328
they tear my apartment apart
seizing all my letters and

00:55:29.329 --> 00:55:34.144
photographs the nudes Western took
of me and the ones I did have mania.

00:55:34.145 --> 00:55:38.089
All leaked to reporters
the gif of belief seems

00:55:38.090 --> 00:55:42.258
intent on pinning the murder
on me the passion motive.

00:55:42.259 --> 00:55:43.609
He says to the press.

00:55:43.610 --> 00:55:48.588
Where I\'m displayed as a scarlet
woman a forerunner a dirty

00:55:48.589 --> 00:55:53.558
communist Tina was cleared
finally but makes it come

00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:58.263
polities were becoming increasingly
paranoid and Machiavellian and

00:55:58.264 --> 00:56:03.338
February 11th 1930 in a crackdown
on Communist activities Tina was

00:56:03.339 --> 00:56:07.299
arrested on the ludicrous charge
of conspiring to assassinate

00:56:07.300 --> 00:56:15.300
the precedent in all of these tribulations I
often thought it that phrase of Nietzsche.

00:56:16.314 --> 00:56:21.369
What doesn\'t kill me strengthens me
only thanks to an enormous amount of

00:56:21.370 --> 00:56:24.249
willpower Have I kept from
going crazy at moments

00:56:24.250 --> 00:56:27.414
when they threw me into an
iron cell without a mattress.

00:56:27.415 --> 00:56:31.358
And they\'ll smelling toilet and I\'m in
the middle of it all wondering if it was

00:56:31.359 --> 00:56:35.163
all a bad dream I cannot
afford the luxury of

00:56:35.164 --> 00:56:40.549
even my sorrows today I well no
this is no time for tiers the

00:56:40.550 --> 00:56:46.128
most is expected from us and we must
not slack and neither are conferences.

00:56:46.129 --> 00:56:51.769
Nor the memory of the dead would allow
us that they are deporting me tomorrow

00:56:51.770 --> 00:56:53.280
morning

00:57:00.850 --> 00:57:03.049
After making Coretina

00:57:03.050 --> 00:57:05.868
put photography aside issue wrote me that

00:57:05.869 --> 00:57:09.648
the light was wrong in Berlin and
the demands of life to urgent.

00:57:09.649 --> 00:57:12.738
If she worked for the Communist
Party in Moscow and with

00:57:12.739 --> 00:57:16.699
the international trade date in Paris
and Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

00:57:16.700 --> 00:57:21.810
At the end of the war she came back
to Mexico City and her false passport

00:57:42.630 --> 00:57:45.968
In Mexico we say she\'s the mother of

00:57:45.969 --> 00:57:50.229
modern photography for shoes and
Mexican photographer above all.

00:57:50.230 --> 00:57:55.974
She gave us a new way to look at ourselves
on the street at Warwick in the fields.

00:57:55.975 --> 00:58:00.908
She showed us the faces the
bodies the vistas of New Mexico.

00:58:00.909 --> 00:58:06.799
One founded on the dignity and
humanity of Indian woman and worker.

00:58:10.890 --> 00:58:14.708
This was not the Mexico
that existed in reality.

00:58:14.709 --> 00:58:19.859
It was the Mexico that she dreamed
up that we all dreamed on

00:58:33.190 --> 00:58:35.579
Mm-hm

00:59:16.810 --> 00:59:19.639
The firm gets

00:59:19.640 --> 00:59:27.484

00:59:27.485 --> 00:59:35.485
that we bring the Idle No More
