On January 6th, 2021, Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, originally from the Dominican Republic, reported to his post at the Capitol. Aquilino’s story combines the narrative of the intense events of one of the darkest days in American democracy with the personal journey of an immigrant defending the symbols of American democracy while the nation’s own citizens sought to destroy them.

This episode is a version in English with the artificially synthesized voice of the narrator, Álvaro de Cózar.
