Notes About This Video
There are various reasons why the media on screen cannot always depict the absolute truth, and the image presented may suggest one thing when, in reality, it represents something else. While producing this film, I occasionally had to manipulate reality to craft a coherent narrative for the audience. In the spirit of transparency, I have documented these ‘tricky edits’ in the chart below. This appendix is inspired by filmmaker Penny Lane’s ‘Notes on Nuts.’ Lane rightly notes that it might be impossible to highlight every editorial decision that could potentially mislead viewers. Nevertheless, documenting these edits is essential for preserving the historical accuracy of the film.

| 7:23 |  | “They finally went up to herand said–she was a Salce was Olga’s Maiden name. They said, “Mrs. Salce, we have let you live here a year longer than you’re supposed to” | This image is actually a photograph of Olga’s grandmother, not her mother. |
| 8:11 |  | “But anyway, the Anglo side got moved first because they were the closest to the mine. And then they started doing away with all of our little barrios” | This is an image of the Delgado Brothers moving the Santa Rita Catholic school. It is not actually a house being moved in the photograph. |
| 12:18 |  | “And I remember, we rode behind it part of the way” | This is a photo of the moving of the Bush residence from the Ball Park area of Santa Rita in June 1966. It is not MaryAnn’s house, but House No. 1154 which was moved to Bayard. |
