Maria writes in the prologue, “Democracy is fragile. You have to fight for every bit, every law, every safeguard, every institution, every story. You must know how dangerous it is to suffer even the tiniest cut. This is why I say to us all: we must hold the line. What you do matters in this present moment of the past, when memory can be so easily altered. Please ask yourself the same question my team and I ask every day: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?” What do you think of Maria’s sacrifices? Have you thought about what you are willing to sacrifice for the truth?
