  • 5:42 Zoe spoke so eloquently. I absolutely agree with what she said. And yes, they are so cute together and respectful toward each other's points.

    What an honest and balanced perspective her and her husband share on the realities of this difficult subject.
  • @mhenry4248

    Zoe es un gran ser humano! So happy to see how much she has accomplished and how she continues to be the voice for so many people.❤ Wishing Marco and Zoe the best on this new journey!

    Bravo to Marco for writing about this topic of immigration & HUMANITY!! Zoe, Marco, & 3 out of the 3 t.v. Hosts all have immigrant backgrounds - somewhere in their most recent life or because of their Ancestors!! So, basically, I would think that the 3 hosts, should be showing the same intellectual understanding, compassion, empathy, etc that Zoe & Marco know through own 1st hand experiences having both been born in foreign countries &/or had parents immigrate to the U.S. And that’s something we should all know, bc it’s really about humanity everywhere on this earth. 🔆 Humanity knows no borders!!!

    Wow! so good! Sad to say that those who need to see this probably won't.

    This movie is not playing at my local theater and I want to watch it so badly
  • I've never heard Zoe's husband talk before, I didn't know what to expect but I didn't think he would sound like this.

  • What I thought her husband was a futball player (good for them melding their fields)
