00:06I have, like you, heard the tall tales told about the Marsh Girl, an abandoned child.
00:17I had a family once. They called me Kaia.
00:22A little girl surviving in the Marsh on her own, reviled and shunned.
00:30Hello, Miss Kaia.
00:31I hear y'all by muscles.
00:38Sometimes I feel so invisible. I wonder if I'm here at all.
00:44You are.
00:50I think you're gorgeous. I want to get to know you better.
01:00There's no fingerprints on the railing, great stuff.
01:04No fingerprints?
01:09Being isolated was one thing. Being hunted, quite another.
01:17The Marsh Girl, she killed him!
01:20I know you have a world of reasons to hate these people.
01:23No, I never hated them.
01:24They hated me. They harassed me.
01:30You want me to beg for my life?
01:33I want you to not decide anything about me.
01:36There are places I will never, never go.
01:42In spite of everything trying to stomp it out,
01:45life persists.
01:48Things that only care a lot.
01:52Way out yonder, where the crawdads sing,
01:56the Marsh knows one thing above all else.
02:03Every creature does what it must to survive.
02:05Every creature does what it must to survive.
