(8 ) I was amazed by how many schools were destroyed by the earthquake - the only good thing I can think of is that it happened on the weekend which was a grace from God to us.

Now I have to do all the work and carry all the burden myself. (16 ) INTERIOR SHOT, SUSHIL S HOUSE INTERIOR SHOT, SUSHIL'S BEDROOM Hello, my name is Sushil Giri and this is my grandfather. And this is where we live. My father is working in Saudi Arabia and my mother was killed in the earthquake Sometimes I feel really bad. Who did this and why did it happen to me? And sometimes when I'm sitting alone I feel like crying (23 ) TRAVELLING SHOT FROM CAR BHUSHAN DAHAL LOOKING OUT OF CAR WINDOW MUSIC BHUSHAN DAHAL (in English) We are in Chautara now - really hard hit by the earthquake. You can see the destruction here - small pieces - where the house has been totally collapsed so you can see this kind of thing all the way till you reach our school like this is all the situation that we have. (13 ) BHUSHAN DAHAL WALKS AND TALKS THROUGH I have been visiting a lot of places like this which have been really hard hit by the earthquake. As you can see this community people are still sitting like this in the tents that you can see here. People are still having their life in tents like this so life has been really hard for people and this is just

5 RUINED HOUSES, THEN RICE FIELDS AND RIVER an example - there are a lot of places like this in the country. (22 ) Before the earthquake, Kids of Kathmandu was focusing on orphans and children with special needs so now after the earthquake we have shifted our focus to rebuilding schools. But those kids are always our priority I visited this school last month and the principle of the school had informed me there is a kid called Sushil which he is a bit worried about. I will be visiting the school looking at the project but I also want to see what his situation is. (26 ) SUSHIL SITTING OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE, CUTTING ONIONS THEN SUT TO INTERVIEW SHOT INSIDE, ON CAMERA SUSHIL GIRI (in Nepali) Before (mum died) I didn't have to cook, but now I do - do the housework, but now I do. I used to have free time but now I don t. I have to do all the house work on my own. (16 ) BHUSHAN (in Nepali): - Why did you just look so scared (2 ) SUSHIL GIRI (in Nepali) - I thought that noise was an earthquake (2 ) BHUSHAN (in Nepali): SUSHIL AND BHUSHAN WALK TOWARD SUSHIL S FORMER HOUSE (DESTROYED BY THE EARTHQUAKE) So where were you when the earthquake happened? (6 ) SUSHIL (in Nepali): I was over there. I felt a strange wind and dust started blowing up. So I asked a neighbour what

6 BHUSHAN AND SUSHIL TALK OUTSIDE THE RUINS OF HIS FORMER HOME BHUSHAN AND SUSHIL TALK OUTSIDE SUSHIL S CURRENT HOUSE was happening and he said it was an earthquake. I came running home and my grandfather and others were digging in the rubble searching for my mum. There was a door here with a bathroom and over here some goats were tied up. This is where the kitchen was - where my mother was working. She grabbed my baby cousin and tried to get out but the doorway fell on them. My cousin was still alive and screaming but by the time they got him out, he was dead. (46 ) EXTERIOR SUSHIL S HOUSE AS HE LEAVES FOR SCHOOL INTERVIEW CUTS TO INTERIOR HOUSE SHOT Sometimes mummy used to say things like; When I die, you will have to cook. When I remember those things I have to calm myself down. Mummy comes to me in my dreams but when I try to touch her, she says: Don't touch me, and then she goes. (16 ) BHUSHAN (in Nepali) How does that make you feel? (2 ) SUSHIL (in Nepali) I wonder why she is running away from me? Why can t I touch her? What wrong have I done? (5 ) WIDE INTERVIEW SHOT BHUSHAN DAHAL BHUSHAN DAHAL (in English) The first time I came here was 15 days after the original earthquake. When I came here that side where 3 kids are standing used to be a big school building there which has like totally gone - totally collapsed. Our objective has been if we are rebuilding a

7 school, it has to be earthquake proof and we try to make sure that every component is covered to make it earthquake proof. (21 ) Neil McFarlane on CAM NAME SUPER: Neil McFarlane, United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction GRAPHICS (of bracketing to avoid the concertina effect) GRAPHICS (to show waving buildings) NEIL McFARLANE on CAM NEIL McFARLANE, ISDR (in English) They can t afford in a very exposed area to not have safe buildings and schools. In a big earthquake in a school that hasn t become earthquake-safe, then you re going to have casualties. You need to have retaining walls that reinforce your walls but also have brackets that really support your walls so the ceiling doesn t collapse so quickly and allows evacuations. You need a lot of flexibility in the design so that the building can move with the earthquake as it s happening. And, a place like Nepal hasn t got that technology unfortunately, but there are things you can do at the local level that will help. (45 ) WIDE SHOT, BHUSHAN DAHAL AND K. VEDHARANIYAM, HEAD OF SUB OFFICE (CHAUTARA), INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION FOR MIGRATION, WALKING TOWARDS THE SCHOOL, AND THEN AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION SITE ACTUALITY, BHUSHAN DAHAL: So what we did in this school, because in this VDC there were 125 casualties and 13 were kids who were students of the same school (12 ) K. VEDHARANIYAM, International Organisation for Migration (IOM) (In English) If you look at these urban areas and rural areas, the schools to public buildings to private buildings they are in a very bad condition, They were not demolished so we started by demolishing them Well after that, then of course the reconstruction steps has started now - a programme which IOM

8 initiated under the build back safer or build back better programme, working through the government to provide clear knowledge, build their competencies and skills to build their own house safer. (33 ) NEIL McFARLANE, ISDR (in English) There are now modern ways of predicting earthquakes giving children more time to evacuate and that s a very key point in the prevention message. You can save lives through good prevention measures and it works. (16 ) SUSHIL S GRANDFATHER) GYAM BAHADUR GIRI (in Nepali) Before (the earthquake) he used to be top of his class - he always used to be first. But since then, something has changed. When the new school is finished with all the new facilities like computers, I hope his future will be bright and it will all work out fine. (24 ) SUSHIL (In Nepali) I feel different (when I go to school), because I'm busy when I'm there. It helps me forget my memories and forget my pain. (11 ) KIDS IN SCHOOL NAT SOT SCHOOL

9 VIDEO INTRO 2 TELEVISING DEMOCRACY Ukraine: a country rocked by conflict and still searching for greater democracy OKSANA (In Russian) This wasn t just a change of the political structure - it was a change of the mental state of Ukraine. Turning a camera lens on politics SERHII (In Russian) I come earlier before the start of a session, set up a tripod, pull out the camera from a backpack. I shoot in a few key directions. Can reformers succeed in creating a more open society? LAZARCHUK (In Russian) The approach we propose is for people to take responsibility for their actions, We want them to take responsibility for the officials they vote for. (43 )

10 STORY 2 UKRAINE TELEVISING DEMOCRACY (9 27 ) VIDEO FIGHTER JET OVERHEAD TANYA ON CAM AUDIO TANYA: (In Russian) In the morning we were awakened by the sound of a fighter jet, by the sound of shots HELICOPTER FLY BY After that came an assault of a military unit, not far from our house. (16 ) TANKS FIRING ROUNDS In 2014, Tanya fled her home in the city of Luhansk, in Eastern Ukraine, when a rapidly escalating conflict gripped the country. (9 ) IDP s LINING UP TANYA: (In Russian) There were people in uniform in the yard. Of course, I started to panic, but I tried not to show it to my children. We decided to evacuate our children to a safe place. We packed all the essential things, documents and left. (21 ) UKRAINIAN FLAG WAVING ON BUILDING PEOPLE CROSSING STREET MEN BEATING OIL DRUMS PROTESTORS THROWING OBJECTS AT RIOT POLICE She safely settled her family nearly 300km away in the city of Chuhuiv also in Eastern Ukraine. (7 ) Violence erupted shortly after a revolution in Ukraine ousted a President who was seen by many as a symbol of the longstanding corruption that had plagued the country s development.

11 Some hoped for a new democratic dawn, others feared a descent into disorder and chaos. (19 ) PEOPLE WALKING PAST BRIDGE PEOPLE WATCHING REVOLUTION ON MAIN SQUARE CROWD OF PEOPLE TANYA IN HER OFFICE And support for the revolution was far lower in eastern Ukraine where Tanya is from. (5 ) Although most Eastern Ukrainians were unhappy with corruption...many like Tanya, feel torn over the repercussions of the recent revolution which is known as the Maidan Revolution, based on the public square in Kiev where protests took place. (14 ) TANYA ON CAM TANYA: (In Russian) Personally, I feel that if Maidan hadn t happened, I would still be living peacefully in my house, in my quiet town. My family would not have fallen apart. (18 ) TANYA IN HER NEW HOMETOWN Despite the difficult situation Tanya finds herself in, she still has hope for the future she's received training modelled on a United Nations democracy project and has now found work with her new home s city council. (13 ) TANYA WALKING INTO TOWN COUNCIL Her town council, and others like it across Ukraine, received support from the UN Democracy Fund to help bring about reform in the country and give greater voice to its citizens. (11 ) OUTSIDE COUNCIL

12 BUILDING Many of those councils, like this one in Rivne in Western Ukraine, are enthusiastic supporters of reform. (6 ) OKSANA WALKS THROUGH COUNCIL BUILDING Oksana Furmanets, an official at Rivne s council, is personally firmly in favour of the Maidan revolution. (7 ) OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA FURMANETS (In Ukrainian) Maidan was the formation of Ukraine. In my opinion, there was no independent Ukraine before This wasn t just a change of the political structure it was a change of the mental state of Ukraine. (15 ) OKSANA PRESIDES OVER COUNCIL SESSION It s 10am on a Thursday morning and Oksana Furmanets is supervising a session of the regional council in Rivne. (8 ) REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING COUNCIL SESSION Public representatives from the surrounding region have flocked to the city today to vote on a bundle of new proposals with far reaching effects. (8 ) OKSANA ADDRESSING THE CROWD She says the support they ve received through the UN Democracy Fund has helped transform the council. (6 ) OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA FURMANETS (In Ukrainian) Until recently we didn t often have debates as a part of the decision-making process in local

13 OKSANA ON CAM government. And, in fact, this project helped us see that this is a normal process that other local councils use to manage their own affairs. A strategy is being built where each participant is given the opportunity to express his or her opinion and to justify it. (30 ) STREET CAR AND SQUARE IN LVIV The project was the brainchild of the West Ukrainian Resource Centre an organization led by Petro Lazarchuk, which is headquartered in the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine. (10 ) PETRO LAZARCHUK ON CAM PETRO LAZARCHUK ON CAM PETRO LAZARCHUK (in Ukrainian) Our project aims to increase the transparency of local councils in Ukraine. And the project also aims to increase the participation of citizens in decision-making at the local level. The approach we propose is for people to take responsibility for their actions. We want them to take responsibility for the officials they vote for, So they aren t indifferent to what the officials do. (30 ) OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA FURMANETS (In Ukrainian) In my opinion a part of the Ukrainian population don t see the processes that happen behind closed doors, and in the government, as transparent. And that s a huge problem. (17 ) FORMER PRESIDENT YANUKOVYCH This perceived lack of transparency fueled the initial anger against ousted President

14 REPRESENTATIVES LISTENING TO ANTHEM REPRESENTATIVES IN COUNCIL Yanukovych s regime when he cancelled a long awaited cooperation agreement with the European Union. Ukrainians have long felt that they have no control over their politicians, but the democracy project is helping to shift attitudes. (20 ) OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA ON CAM OKSANA FURMANETS (In Ukrainian) There are a large number of people in local authorities, who grew up, then began their professional career and political activity during the time of the Soviet Union. Officials are not used to the fact that their activities can be public, that they can be monitored, that they can be controlled. (25 ) CAMERA SYSTEM FOOTAGE FROM RECORDING OF COUNCIL SESSION The democracy programme introduced councils from across Ukraine to a new tool which would allow their constituents to watch over all political proceedings. The innovation is the online streaming of all council sessions, a standard practice in western democracies, but absent in the local councils of Ukraine. (18 ) OKSANA ADDRESSING REPRESENTATIVES Oksana says it s been a great catalyst for transparency and citizen engagement. (4 ) SERHII ENTERS THE BUILDING Serhii Delidon, a young activist from the nearby village of Zorya, was so inspired by the UN Democracy project, that he began taping his village council sessions himself. (10 )

15 VILLAGE ENTRANCE SIGN SERHII AT HIS HOME COMPUTER SERHII ON CAM the videos he posts to youtube have a large and appreciative audience. (5 ) SERHII DELIDON (In Ukrainian) The first sessions, for example, on 12 December, have a lot of views. That is, during the day this video was watched up to 2 thousand people. For our village with a population of 11,000 that makes 20-25% who watched. That is the peaks are about views per day. So, these are serious numbers. And most importantly, it is not only local viewers. It is viewed in the region and even other countries. (30 ) SERHII ON CAM Generally video recording starts like this. I come early before the start of a session, set up a tripod and pull out the camera from a backpack. I shoot in a few key directions. That is, the main direction - it is here, facing the chairman, the executive committee. The second direction - a parliamentary body, which occupies the central part of the hall. And the third part - a podium, where speakers make their reports. (28 ) SERHII INSIDE THE COUNCIL MEETING ROOM OKSANA AND SERHII SITTING DOWN TO TALK But if Serhi is one day no longer able to film the sessions, his work won t live on. That s why Serhii has traveled from his village to meet with Oksana today, and seek advice on how to make sure his village council legally mandates online streaming. (14 )

16 OKSANA AND SERHII ON CAM OKSANA FURMANETS (In Ukrainian) In fact, the process of legalizing online broadcasting takes a period of two sessions. During the first session you prepare a statute for online streaming and then conduct the most extensive possible discussion. (16 ) VILLAGE OF ZORYA Today, Serhii gets some encouraging news when a village council member throws her support behind his project. (6 ) SERHII AND COUNCIL REP ON CAM COUNCIL REP (In Ukrainian) Ok, well, I know that council members will support this. I m sure we need to continue these online broadcasts, because people are waiting, people want to be united. (`13 ) VIDEO OF ARREST TANYA WALKING CAMERA TANYA RECORDED SESSION OF TOWN COUNCIL IN CHUHUIV TANYA ON CAM Directly because of Serhii s efforts to bring about greater transparency, two months after we filmed his work, the head of Zorya council was arrested on major bribery charges. As activists like Serhii try to build a new political system, for Tanya, the focus has been on building a new life. With the help of her new colleagues and with input from democracy training, she sees better prospects for herself and her family. (28 ) TANYA: (In Russian) My colleagues supported me in every possible

17 way. It s communication that helps when you get into a different environment. (10 ) As she settles into her new work, Tanya hopes these new insights will help her contribute to a more peaceful and more openly democratic Ukraine. (9 )
