"Mommy, don't worry.
:15:03
I've left. Don't cry.
:15:09
I've left on a safe boat."
:15:21
The note was there.
:15:24
It said don't cry,
:15:28
that he was leaving with friends...
:15:31
Iooking for his future.
:15:41
I remember it was...
:15:42
September the first.
:15:45
He had a fixed idea.
:15:51
I know my mother
will be worried...

:15:54
Worried.
:16:06
Here, people have no bad thoughts.
:16:10
No one gets thrown overboard,
:16:13
like they did to you.
:16:15
No one here had 30$?
:16:18
No. My sister, for example
Is dying to go with us,

:16:23
but has no money,
:16:26
so, she's building her own raft
:16:29
but still needs many things.
:16:32
- I need 100, 150 dollars.
- For what?

:16:36
To buy inner tubes, canvases.
:16:39
And everything I need.
Food, everything.

:16:42
Either you go to bed with
a foreigner that you don't like...

:16:46
or hustle,
risking going to jail,

:16:49
to get 30.
:16:52
Or do terrible things.
:16:55
And I had to be a hooker
to support my family.

:16:58
Do you mind our filming you
turning tricks?
