An interview with Hector, who grew up in Bullhead City, Arizona, then made his way to Washington (where we first met). During COVID, Hector lost his job as a tank mechanic then moved to Wyoming to find something comparable. As I passed through this summer, he and his wife offered me a place to stay. We hadn't spoken in almost a decade. He discusses growing up as a skater, growing up half-Mexican in Arizona, and the ways in which COVID forced a perspective shift around work and family.
Filmed July 21st, 2021 in Lander, WY.
