Woman: All right.
So, it is 5:30 AM on July 25th,
and we have to go
to Kansas City.
Woman on TV: We are.
We're gonna fight this
to the end.
I mean, she's just a--
Breonna Taylor is gone,
but this is our family to us,
this is our baby,
and she's gonna get
the justice she deserves.
Man on TV:
Of the three officers involved
in the shooting that night,
only one has responded
to CNN's request for comment.
Sergeant Jon Mattingly,
through his attorney,
says that he was not
involved in the planning,
was just following orders.
The dreadful 2020.
Ah.
Really?
This is the generation
we live in,
where kids go to sleep
holding a cell phone.
♪ It's the best day ever ♪
♪ It's the best day ever ♪
- Unh-uh. Stop.
- Hey, you guys!
Wake up, you guys!
It's the best day ever.
Hey, you guys! Wake up!
( crowing )
Every morning this chicken
comes to my window
and crows like that
every single morning.
( rooster crowing )
Whew. Morning, guys.
( alarms blaring )
( alarms continue )

( humming )
No.
Just getting up
in my 11-foot motor home.
It has, um,
no sink, no stove, no bed.
Time to get moving.
It's almost 6:00.
We become--
we become
too visible to people.
We are the invisible people.
In this case,
I lost everything
to this pandemic.
( singing in native language )
( speaking in native language )
( bleating )
Man: It's about 8:00,
and I probably have
the most fun hobby on Earth.
Okay, so right now,
I'm at location one,
which is, uh, milepost 78.89
on the BNSF Chillicothe
subdivision.
( bell ringing )
( train whistle blows )
Today I wanted to see
if I can get
all seven Class One railroads
in one day.
That's one.
( music playing )
Hey!
- ( speaking Spanish )
- ( barking )
We all want to pursue
a career in social media.
Am I filming myself filming?
Hello, my name is Sir Carlos,
and I am a YouTube creator.
So this will be
where our camera...
For the lighting production.
So, we have the quality lights.
This is the background,
and we sit here.
Welcome, Teachers For Christ.

♪ Greetings from South Africa ♪
- This is--
- Selfie mode.
( crowd cheering )
What do you think
the result is gonna be?
Well, I don't know.
Woman: Have you experienced
any cold or flu-like symptoms
in the last 14 days,
such as but not limited to
fever of greater than 100.4,
cough, sore throat,
respiratory illness,
or difficulty breathing?
- No.
- Perfect.
All right,
hold on one second.
All right, if you want to meet
Maribel at the front door,
- she'll bring you in, okay?
- All right, thank you.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
- Good luck.
- I know. I'm nervous.
- What's the news?
- Nope. It's a no.
A no?
I'm sorry.
- So tired, babe.
- I know.
( sobbing )
I just--
- We'll keep trying.
- I know.
Did they say
what the next steps are?
Uh, they're gonna
call me on Monday,
but the medication
isn't working
and she feels like it's just
wasting our time and money.
So, her instinct on what
the route is going to be
is putting me
on birth control,
which will, um, cause me
to trigger a period
after I go off
of birth control.
- Okay.
- And then, uh, we can try
on our own then,
but also be planning to do
IVF if that fails.
- ( sobbing )
- Hey, it's okay.
- It's so sad.
- I know, but we're working
through this together, okay?
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
Can we get pancakes?
We're gonna have
special breakfast, okay?
- Give me pancakes and toys.
- Mm-hmm.
( speaking native language )
Oh, my God.
That's funny, yeah.
You know in those
movies they say, "Well,
it'll ruin our friendship."
'Cause he likes three people.
So, I said, "Okay."
There were two people left,
me and this other girl.
And I said, "Okay,
I guess the other girl."
And he said, "No."
So that means that
I'm one of them.
And then he said,
"Yeah, I like you." So...
Did you say,
"Where in the order
of the three am I?"
Um, cutest thing ever.
Girl:
I had a dream in which, uh,
there was a--
I was a creature, okay?
There was a crea--
I was a creature.
- You were a creature.
- And I was little.
I was, like, a little sardine
or something and, um...
I was kind of...
( music playing )
Now we can turn this off
because we've got
something to do.
( laughing )
I think ours is
a very interesting story--
like, love story.
Man: Yeah, if it was
maybe shot somewhere,
it would be interesting.
Yeah, because we met each other
thanks to Tinder.
Ah, you shouldn't--
you could avoid this part.
No, no. That's the truth.
I know that you don't like it,
but it's the truth.
Now, do you know why
I come here?
After five to six houses,
there's a building.
And a girl comes up.
She's pretty,
she's about my age,
and I like her.
And I want to talk to her,
but I don't know how
because there's
the pandemic thing going on
and she never comes out
of the house
as far as my sources go.
So this is my only chance,
so I'm here to talk to her.
What I do? I just wave.
I just wave and wave
until she hi's.
But she never hi'd me back.
That's pretty sad.
But, but, but, but!
She's up there in the terrace.
I'm going to try it again.
Watch me.
She's not responding.
( cheering )
Yeah.
- Yes.
- Really?
( cheering )
Do you marry me?
( mumbling )
Oh, my God.
I think that is better
to be out loud?
I'm asking, do you marry me?
Unfortunately, things--
relationships,
they have ups and downs.
And I didn't felt that was a--
um, a real yes.
Anyway, she explained me
the reason why,
and I understand.
Um, but it is
that kind of things,
like, we all have ups
and downs.
Um, so I will just skip, um--
that-- um, that's life.
Life in a day.
Life in a day.
Um, is not always
happy endings.
Graduation!

( indistinct shouting )

Welcome to the most
important moment
of every teenager's life.

Yeah!

( cheering )
Woman: Good morning.
I am going to, um,
first show you my son
ten years ago
in the original
"Life In a Day."
He'll be here shortly.
- Okay, we're coming in.
- There he is.
Okay, first of all,
and I'm sure he hears me by now,
let me explain something to you.
Everyone, can you hear me
loud and clear?
My son was supposed to be
cleaning his room yesterday.
Come on, boy.
- Woman!
- "Woman."
Oh, this is gonna be
a long day,
as most are.
- He's always a bundle of joy.
- ( woman laughs )
Come on.
Come get in the shower.
Get the day going.
- I'm sorry it's shaking.
- Got things to do,
places to go.
People to see.
Future's today!
( sniffles )
Okay.
That was my son ten years ago
on the original
"Life In a Day."
I'm gonna show you
my son now.
Here is my son now.
He's here with me,
forever home.
Oh, this is gonna be
harder than I thought.
My son Alex passed away
on February 18th, 2020,
due to complications
from COVID-19.

It's about the fun.
Doing it
for the thrill of it.
( train whistle blows )
I'm at a loss for words.
I'm pretty lucky.
That's two.
Man on PA: Cover your mouth
and nose with a tissue
or cough into your elbow.
Coronavirus literally ruined
my whole life.
I was planning on going
to Six Flags,
having a sleepover with Cole,
and suddenly
the coronavirus hits
and then life was ruined.
( music playing )
Can you hear me?
- I can hear you.
- ( speaking Spanish )
- Hello.
- You! How are things going?
Woman: So, today we are
processing samples
of the Oxford University
coronavirus vaccine candidate.
It's pretty intense, working
weekends and evenings,
and it's set to be
another busy day.
- Hi.
- Hello.
...grown man.
I hear you driving.
( speaking native languages )
- ( indistinct chatter )
- I was like, "Ah!"
( music continues )
Whoo.
( indistinct shouting )
This is just me running,
and I ain't wearing
no darn mask.
You hear that?
I don't hear no protesting
over here.
Just nice and peaceful.
That's what I work for.
That's what we all work for.
A little peace.

This photo was taken when
we were escorting the remains
of one of our fallen soldiers,
who sadly had taken his life.
That's what PTSD does.
This framed photo right here
was me during one of our
other ceremonies,
and my brother
Captain Clayton Melton...
...he framed this photo
and wrote,
"This is who
you will always be."
It's Saturday,
July 25th, 2020.
What do I fear?
This.
Woman: Okay,
let's try to get up on our
hands and knees, buddy.
( babbling )
All right, bud.
All right. Ahh!
Look at that!

Man: People don't realize it.
Being a traffic officer can be
a dangerous job sometimes.
There's people that feel
that you messed up their day.
Sometimes they want
to punch you.
But it's not my fault
you had the ticket.
It's your fault.
Right here, we got a guy
parked in the red.
Let's get out and see what
he wants to say about.
- That's me. That's me.
I'm right here.
- I'm right here, too.
I was already-- I was already--
I got somebody on the car, baby.
- How you doing?
- What's up?
Yeah, nah,
I was just letting
you know I wasn't--
you know,
I had somebody
in the car, too.
I was just,
you know, in and out.
I know, but you're in
the red zone.
You can't stop
in the red zone.
- Mr. Hollywood, what's up?
- How you doing?
- Hey, what are you doing?
- Hey, Officer Smith.
Let's go. You need to go
get in the car so you move it,
- because I'm going to
give you a ticket.
- You don't believe me?
We literally just waiting
on my mama to come out.
- That's why
we standing right here.
- That could be from yesterday.
- Let's go!
- My little girl's just
getting a Coffee Bean.
Is she getting you
some money for the ticket?
- ( whining ) I'm sorry.
- No, you're not.
"Oh, my little baby
went to get me some coffee.
That's why I'm in
the red zone."
Lame excuses.
Just do the right thing.
Do the right thing.
( radio chatter )
Man: Yeah, people always
want to make you the bad guy.
I'm just doing my job.
A job that I wouldn't have to do
if you would just park right.
Time to go get
something for lunch.
Let's go get a pop.
- ( robotic chatter )
- Come on!
( music playing )
You're welcome.
I've gone almost four hours now
without seeing a train.
But that's about to change
'cause I'm just across
the Illinois River
from Pearl, Illinois,
where the KCS Rudolph
subdivision
crosses the river here.
That's three.
Oh, yeah.
That's what, uh,
I have to deal with
every single day.
You know what I'm saying?
Just a constant reminder
that we're black
and that there's people
that show hate every day.
That's something that I would
want to change in the world.
That's something that
kind of scares me.
All the ignorance out here,
you know?
But I always make sure that
I keep something to protect me,
just in case, um, anything,
you know, goes left.
Because that's also my right.
The Second Amendment.

Brevard County's
a very conservative area.
Trump City, to be exact.
About 18, 19 months ago,
a veteran soldier
who was suffering from PTSD
was killed in the jailhouse
and Sheriff Wayne Ivey
and the police who were
policing themselves
refuse to release the videos.
And that's what people
are so outraged about
is release the videos.
Just release the videos
so that the family can see
what happened.
And I'm gonna stop
because I get so emotional
when I think about it
because I've had two brothers--
not one, but two brothers
die in police custody.
Unarmed black men.
Tall, skinny.
But apparently they felt
threatened by my brothers
and killed them.
For no reason.
( chanting )
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Make this nation
a better nation.
- Breonna Taylor!
- Say her name!
My mother is an immigrant
and a self-made business woman!
- Stop the violence!
- I'm black and I'm proud.

So there were guys rising up...
( indistinct chatter )

Quick, short step today.
A little funnel of zap
for my 50th.
Just a little of all
the beautiful light family,
so what a treat
this is for me.
( music playing )
It's magic that we've ended up
in this little spot
traveling through the galaxy
at billions of miles an hour,
incarnate on Earth
in this moment,
in this space,
in this house together
to share these same vibes.
It's pure magic.
The odds of that
are infinitesimal.
You can't even
write those odds.
So, the fact
we are here together,
I don't care if you're
a friend of a friend
who I met for two seconds,
we're soul family.
And if you forgot that,
remember that.
And if there was
a reflection in me...
...that was reflected in you.
Thank you, all of you,
for all your beautiful words
and all your love.
And, you know, it's tough
for me to receive. I'm a giver.
- Man: Mm-hmm.
- Woman: Aww.
- Thank you for receiving.
- ( overlapping chatter )
I've been giving-- listen,
I've been giving for 50 years
and this has really been
like medicine for me.
All: Aww.

What's up, man?
Man:
I'm at my friend's place.
He sells water.
Here in Nigeria,
you just have to get
your water yourself.
( music continues )
Man: As of this date,
this pandemic's worse
than it was at its peak
in April of 2020.
There just seems to be
nothing to stop it.
So you're gonna see homelessness
like you've never seen it.
And I think anarchy is coming,
where people are just going
to start to lose it,
and I really fear that a lot.
Beautiful day.
This is what I love.
This is what I love
right here.
Flying these has brought a joy
that I've never--
never really had before
at a time where
I really needed it.
So in the words of the late,
great John Hurt
in the movie "Contact,"
"Wanna go for a ride?"

Whoo!

That's five. Five!
Make that six!
( indistinct chatter )
Man:
This lockdown's been intense,
and, uh, I'm spending
a lot of time--
well, all my time by myself.
So I've had to learn
to make new friends.
Okay.
Here is Sammy.
That's Crystal.
See her under there?
There she is.
And over here...
...that's George.
That's Jacob.
He's in the kitchen.
That's Harry.
Harry's-- he's kind of a loner.
Here we go.
These are my family.
See, this is the way
to relax your mind.
You don't have to worry
about anything else
like coronavirus or anything.
This makes you stress-free.
You see the queen bee here?
That's the queen bee.
See her?
There's so much
to learn from bees.
Can't we "bee" happy like them?
Of course we can. We just
have to be more humble.
( music playing )
Man: Each person
is a collection
of abstract symbols,
hopes, dreams, fears.
This is my way
of projecting my inner self
into the world.
Most people get stuck
with what they see
in the mirror every day,
but there's so much more
to the universe.
We just have to be willing
to go beyond what we know.
( music continues )
Man: Today in Nigeria,
I woke up and then saw a flood.
Unfortunately, it's taking
over our buildings
and it's taking over
our houses.
Today's 25th of July,
and I think it's the worst day.
- Girl: Hello, Anoi.
- Hello.
If you want to,
like, love someone,
how would you love them?
With all your heart.
Okay.
That's quite romantic.
Okay.
Have you ever--
these are have you ever.
Have you ever farted
in your pants?
All the time. Every day.
Oh, yeah, yeah. True.
- Alex?
- Yeah?
What would you do
if there was no longer me here?
- I would cry a lot.
- Oh?
- And I'd think you're dead.
- Yes.
What would change
your life in the future?
What would change my life
in the future?
- Yeah.
- Getting better would
change my life.
Yeah, 'cause you can't walk.
I can't walk,
so getting better and--
- And you're weak.
- And I'm weak.
But you could
get better someday.
- Hopefully.
- Is it-- no, not hopefully.
- It is true.
- Okay, it's true then.
I'll get better someday.
What's in your pocket?
Okay, what's in my pocket?
Pull it out of your pocket.
This is what's in my pocket.
- See?
- Photos?
- Yeah.
- We can't really see them well.
- You can't?
- But we do.
Maybe you need to move back
a little bit.
How about
a little bit further?
There is my brother.
There is your robot.
This is my favorite one.
- That's me.
- That's you.
- Memories.

Almost 14
and a half hours later,
I can finally say...
challenge completed.
- Woman: When's your
birthday, bud?
- August the 8th.
- And how old
are you gonna be?
- 100.
I am-- I'm an antique.
Just live a good life
and take care of yourself,
truly, and be lucky.
Man: The best thing in life
that could happen to anybody
is to wake up in the morning,
open your eyes,
and see the face of the person
that you want to be with.
If you've got that,
all's well with the world.
Man: A year and a half ago,
we had a bunch of trees
back of our house
and a construction company
knocked them all down.
In their wake,
they left a giant hole.
As you can see,
it is now a very
moderate size pond.
I...
I want to have kids so bad.
I want to have kids more than
just about anything.
I want them to grow up
in a world that's kind.
And I know people
laugh at that,
and they call you
a vulnerable snowflake
and an idealist.
But I always come back
to the question, "Why?"
Man: So here it is.
What was once trees
is now water.
I understand
that it's complex,
but at the same time,
it's really simple.
Man:
Enjoy your kayaking adventure.
- I shall. I love you.
- I love you, too.
Why can't we change?
Why can't we be kind?
( music playing )
Man: Just one last thought
from the Bible.
Before I go to bed at night,
I like to look at this.
Here in the Book of Luke,
chapter 21,
verse 11, it says,
"There will be
great earthquakes,
and in one place after another
food shortages and pestilences,
and there will be
fearful sights
and from heaven, great signs."
So, looks like
we're in those last days now.

Focus on that star
and not on that moving light.
That might be a plane.
I've decided to film this
for you to hear
and listen to the sea.
Maybe you should close
your eyes and let the sound
sink into you.

Hey!

We all want to pursue
a career in social media.
Am I filming myself filming?
Hello, my name is Sir Carlos,
and I am a YouTube creator.
So this will be
where our camera...
For the lighting production.
So, we have the quality lights.
This is the background,
and we sit here.

What do you think
the result is gonna be?
Well, I don't know.
Woman: Have you experienced
any cold or flu-like symptoms
in the last 14 days,
such as but not limited to
fever of greater than 100.4,
cough, sore throat,
respiratory illness,
or difficulty breathing?
- No.
- Perfect.
All right,
hold on one second.
All right, if you want to meet
Maribel at the front door,
- she'll bring you in, okay?
- All right, thank you.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
- Good luck.
- I know. I'm nervous.
- What's the news?
- Nope. It's a no.
A no?
I'm sorry.
- So tired, babe.
- I know.
( sobbing )
I just--
- We'll keep trying.
- I know.
Did they say
what the next steps are?
Uh, they're gonna
call me on Monday,
but the medication
isn't working
and she feels like it's just
wasting our time and money.
So, her instinct on what
the route is going to be
is putting me
on birth control,
which will, um, cause me
to trigger a period
after I go off
of birth control.
- Okay.
- And then, uh, we can try
on our own then,
but also be planning to do
IVF if that fails.
- ( sobbing )
- Hey, it's okay.
- It's so sad.
- I know, but we're working
through this together, okay?
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
Can we get pancakes?
We're gonna have
special breakfast, okay?
- Give me pancakes and toys.
- Mm-hmm.
( speaking native language )
Oh, my God.
That's funny, yeah.
You know in those
movies they say, "Well,
it'll ruin our friendship."
'Cause he likes three people.
So, I said, "Okay."
There were two people left,
me and this other girl.
And I said, "Okay,
I guess the other girl."
And he said, "No."
So that means that
I'm one of them.
And then he said,
"Yeah, I like you." So...
Did you say,
"Where in the order
of the three am I?"
Um, cutest thing ever.
Girl:
I had a dream in which, uh,
there was a--
I was a creature, okay?
There was a crea--
I was a creature.
- You were a creature.
- And I was little.
I was, like, a little sardine
or something and, um...
I was kind of...
( music playing )
Now we can turn this off
because we've got
something to do.
( laughing )
I think ours is
a very interesting story--
like, love story.
Man: Yeah, if it was
maybe shot somewhere,
it would be interesting.
Yeah, because we met each other
thanks to Tinder.
Ah, you shouldn't--
you could avoid this part.
No, no. That's the truth.
I know that you don't like it,
but it's the truth.
Now, do you know why
I come here?
After five to six houses,
there's a building.
And a girl comes up.
She's pretty,
she's about my age,
and I like her.
And I want to talk to her,
but I don't know how
because there's
the pandemic thing going on
and she never comes out
of the house
as far as my sources go.
So this is my only chance,
so I'm here to talk to her.
What I do? I just wave.
I just wave and wave
until she hi's.
But she never hi'd me back.
That's pretty sad.
But, but, but, but!
She's up there in the terrace.
I'm going to try it again.
Watch me.
She's not responding.
( cheering )
Yeah.
- Yes.
- Really?
( cheering )
Do you marry me?
( mumbling )
Oh, my God.
I think that is better
to be out loud?
I'm asking, do you marry me?
Unfortunately, things--
relationships,
they have ups and downs.
And I didn't felt that was a--
um, a real yes.
Anyway, she explained me
the reason why,
and I understand.
Um, but it is
that kind of things,
like, we all have ups
and downs.
Um, so I will just skip, um--
that-- um, that's life.

I am going to, um,
first show you my son
ten years ago
in the original
"Life In a Day."
He'll be here shortly.
- Okay, we're coming in.
- There he is.
Okay, first of all,
and I'm sure he hears me by now,
let me explain something to you.
Everyone, can you hear me
loud and clear?
My son was supposed to be
cleaning his room yesterday.
Come on, boy.
- Woman!
- "Woman."
Oh, this is gonna be
a long day,

- He's always a bundle of joy.

Come get in the shower.
Get the day going.
- I'm sorry it's shaking.

Okay.
That was my son ten years ago
on the original

I'm gonna show you

Being a traffic officer can be
a dangerous job sometimes.
There's people that feel
that you messed up their day.
Sometimes they want
to punch you.
But it's not my fault
you had the ticket.
It's your fault.
Right here, we got a guy
parked in the red.
Let's get out and see what
he wants to say about.
- That's me. That's me.
I'm right here.
- I'm right here, too.
I was already-- I was already--
I got somebody on the car, baby.
- How you doing?
- What's up?
Yeah, nah,
I was just letting
you know I wasn't--
you know,
I had somebody
in the car, too.
I was just,
you know, in and out.
I know, but you're in
the red zone.
You can't stop
in the red zone.
- Mr. Hollywood, what's up?
- How you doing?
- Hey, what are you doing?
- Hey, Officer Smith.
Let's go. You need to go
get in the car so you move it,

give you a ticket.
- You don't believe me?
We literally just waiting

some money for the ticket?
- ( whining ) I'm sorry.
- No, you're not.

I've gone almost four hours now

But that's about to change
'cause I'm just across
the Illinois River
from Pearl, Illinois,
where the KCS Rudolph
subdivision
crosses the river here.
That's three.
Oh, yeah.
That's what, uh,
I have to deal with
every single day.
You know what I'm saying?
Just a constant reminder
that we're black
and that there's people
that show hate every day.
That's something that I would
want to change in the world.
That's something that
kind of scares me.
All the ignorance out here,
you know?
But I always make sure that
I keep something to protect me,
just in case, um, anything,

Because that's also my right.

Brevard County's
a very conservative area.
Trump City, to be exact.
About 18, 19 months ago,
a veteran soldier
who was suffering from PTSD
was killed in the jailhouse
and Sheriff Wayne Ivey
and the police who were
policing themselves
refuse to release the videos.
And that's what people
are so outraged about
is release the videos.
Just release the videos
so that the family can see
what happened.
And I'm gonna stop
because I get so emotional
when I think about it
because I've had two brothers--
not one, but two brothers
die in police custody.
Unarmed black men.
Tall, skinny.
But apparently they felt
threatened by my brothers
and killed them.
For no reason.

It's magic that we've ended up
in this little spot
traveling through the galaxy
at billions of miles an hour,
incarnate on Earth
in this moment,
in this space,
in this house together
to share these same vibes.
It's pure magic.
The odds of that
are infinitesimal.
You can't even
write those odds.
So, the fact
we are here together,
I don't care if you're
a friend of a friend
who I met for two seconds,
we're soul family.
And if you forgot that,

Before I go to bed at night,

Here in the Book of Luke,
chapter 21,

"There will be
great earthquakes,
and in one place after another
food shortages and pestilences,
and there will be
fearful sights
and from heaven, great signs."
So, looks like
