[Migrantjusticedocumentary] interview with evelia

[Catherine Kendler]

ok guys, i'm sorry i'm missing the press conference. those of you who are
going to be there, i guess just do your best to come up with the questions
you're going to want to ask Evelia, and i'll ask them when i get there,
which i'm hoping will be no later than 11:30am. i can stay till 1:45pm.
