Screen Recording is about capturing and preserving what happened for future review — using memory and reflection to make sense of experience over time. Mike Thexton had been mentally recording the hijacking for thirty-six years: telling it to negotiators, writing it in a book, replaying it at the trial. The phone call from federal prison was a final act of recording — filling in the gaps so the full story could finally be preserved accurately. He'd kept the record running for decades specifically to reach this moment.
