“When I wrapped my part of the day, I got into my car and I cried,” Rinaldi said. “I wouldn’t do that in front of Walt. I called Danny Arruda [producer] because I was very shaken. Walt had shared the effects of the random, awful way he lost his child, and I hope the power of that comes across in the piece.

“That was her. When he shared that with us, he got up from the interview, walked to the far end of the gym, grabbed the cage, and wept uncontrollably. The sounds were as wrenching as you could ever hear another person make.”
