It is amazing to see how activities within the group take on a new meaning when being filmed by one of the participants. Rui shouts out “Look over here!” He is holding the video camera and walking towards the group. “What’s the matter with you guys? How are you feeling today?” He saunters past the group making a commentary while filming. Here was a young man who did not speak much, but with the camera has been given a new lease of life. His language has escalated with the role of cameraman.
He is not the only one. There are others who are now more confident. This may be due to respecting their wishes on not being filmed. I still wonder if we can get them on camera. We have let them be who they want to be.
