documentary from mockingbird to watchman and she met with harper lee a week and a half ago. mary, i ll start with you here. i have to know what s her state of mind in general and what s her state of mind regarding the release of this book and the controversy surrounding it? well i can only tell you what i observed. i was there filming and recording an event in which the publishers both british and american presented harper lee with spanking new copies of her new novel. and she expressed thanks and it was a little presentation. and surprisingly i was able to sit down and ask her a question. and so i said did you ever think you would see this published? and she said of course i did, don t be silly. wow. that answers the question at least that she knows what s going on and she at least according to her conversation with you supports it. yes. and all the statements she s released and all the statements from her friends and people
