“You’re only 19 or so,” Lam’s judge said to him at the hearing. “I’m sure it’s difficult to conceive or imagine that many years in custody. But I think that leads some people to go to trial and after they get a sentence with life, then think, ‘what did I do? I’m here for the rest of my life, most likely.’ There’s not a huge difference, I don’t see, between 20 years and 25 years, when it means you get out. You can have a life. And quite frankly, for a fleeting moment, I thought, ‘Oh you want a trial? You want to spend the rest of your life in prison?’’’

Bravo! By capturing sights, sounds and energy of place, you make the case that it is true, living art. Stunning!
Excellent video piece Angela. Love how you say “In My Museum”, and I also love that shot of the Four Direction colors. Beautiful representing.
