  (soft instrumental music)

00:03.036 --> 00:06.206 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- [Narrator] We must
start at the beginning.

00:06.206 --> 00:09.542 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
 - July's story is
 told retrospectively
 through old July,

00:09.542 --> 00:13.747 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
 and she shares with
 us her mischief,

00:13.747 --> 00:17.117 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
  her pain, and her victory.

00:18.651 --> 00:21.388 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
 I think she's in her teenage
 years when we meet her,

00:21.388 --> 00:24.057 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
and she's on the cusp
of discovering, I guess,

00:24.057 --> 00:26.259 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
 sexuality as well with Nimrod.

00:26.259 --> 00:27.527 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
 - Morning Mr. Nimrod.

00:27.527 --> 00:29.929 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- And then there's
also talk of rebellion,

00:29.929 --> 00:34.434 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
so, she's got all these new
ideas about freedom in her mind,

00:34.434 --> 00:36.870 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 she's sort of at the
 cusp of growing up.

00:36.870 --> 00:40.573 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- July, as a character,
is a natural rebel

00:40.573 --> 00:43.209 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
  but also has an incredible
  sense of the order

00:43.209 --> 00:46.312 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
 because her survival
 is dependent

00:46.312 --> 00:48.248 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
on her living within this house,

00:48.248 --> 00:50.850 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because outside of that
house is, you know,

00:50.850 --> 00:52.419 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
 a horrible life in the field.

00:53.586 --> 00:55.555 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- She's got quite a
high opinion of herself,

00:55.555 --> 00:58.224 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
 to the point that
 that supersedes her
 opinion of Caroline.

00:58.224 --> 00:59.993 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I think she thinks that
Caroline's an idiot

00:59.993 --> 01:02.762 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 and realizes that
 she's smarter than her

01:02.762 --> 01:04.597 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
  and if she were born into
  the same social status

01:04.597 --> 01:09.335 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
 she would far exceed anything
 that Caroline's achieved.

01:09.335 --> 01:11.371 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
  She's got dignity,
  she's got grace.

01:11.371 --> 01:13.106 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 I think all the things
 that she goes through

01:13.106 --> 01:16.376 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
they harden her in a way
that make her realize

01:16.376 --> 01:17.877 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
that when Robert comes,

01:17.877 --> 01:20.180 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
  she's got to do whatever
  she needs to, to be free,

01:20.180 --> 01:23.049 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 as much as freedom can
 come in that realm.

01:24.451 --> 01:27.320 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 July is a product of
 quite a lot of trauma

01:27.320 --> 01:31.057 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
because of loss,
like abandonment

01:31.057 --> 01:32.759 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
 or being bereft of a parent.

01:32.759 --> 01:34.127 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
  - Yes, yes, I'll take her.

01:35.562 --> 01:37.197 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
  - You know, she's one of
  these people who, kind of,

01:37.197 --> 01:42.202 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
  can't see maybe the extent
  of what she's experienced,

01:43.103 --> 01:44.704 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
'cause she's so forward moving.

01:44.704 --> 01:47.240 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
  She's just got it
  in her to survive.

01:48.808 --> 01:51.845 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I love that July just
never seems to give up.

01:51.845 --> 01:53.379 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
  She's a survivor.

01:53.379 --> 01:56.149 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
 How can you get knocked that
 many times and keep going?

01:56.149 --> 01:57.684 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 It just makes me think
 there's no excuse,

01:57.684 --> 01:59.419 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
no matter how difficult
things can be,

01:59.419 --> 02:01.721 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
 people have made it
 through harder times.

02:01.721 --> 02:05.225 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
