+Description of the Video "We Use GNU/Linux"
+
+The main setting is a slum dwelling in Bangalore with some scenes 
+showing the more prosperous surrounding area. 
+
+00:00 - 00:02
+Video caption: "a documentary film in making".
+The video starts with a close-up of a drawing depicting a gnu head next 
+to a full-bodied penguin on a white paper. The gnu's face is brown with
+big yellow eyes and red horns. The penguin is dark gray with big white
+eyes and it is holding a pencil. Below the two characters it is written: 
+"We use GNU-Linux". 
+
+00:03 - 00:07
+The previous scene dissolves into daylight shots of some of the
+buildings around the slum. Video caption: "Bannerghatta Road - 
+Bangalore, India". Two modern apartment buildings that rise high into 
+the clear sky are seen in perspective from ground level. Then from a 
+point of view across the street we see the IBM flat-roofed four-story 
+building with dark glass windows, while a bus driving by partially 
+covers the lower floors. Next is a side view of the famous Jal Bhavan 
+arch-shaped building. At the end of this scene we see the upper part of 
+a square building where big blue letters read "EMC".
+
+00:08 - 00:35
+Transition to the slum. Video caption: "Sudarshan Layout. A small slum 
+behind Banerghatta Road." Here we can see several scenes that depict the 
+slum and the daily activities of its residents in the common area 
+outside their rooms. 
+
+In the foreground, to the right, we see many white plastic buckets and 
+green and brown water containers gathered around a small water tube with 
+two openings.  Water is pouring into a couple of containers placed on
+the ground. In the background there is a child holding a bucket, large 
+pieces of cloth hanging from the walls and two women walking.
+
+Then the camera shows:
+
+A close-up of a large black cooking pot placed on bricks, under which
+fire is made with pieces of wood. 
+
+A close-up of two large square public phones hanging on the wall.
+
+A group of men sitting on the ground playing dice.
+
+A young man and a woman playing paddle tennis.
+
+Next we see two girls and two women walking. One of the women approaches 
+the camera carrying a container full of vegetables. A vendor at one side 
+is arranging the tomatoes on top of his cart. People are seen around.
+
+Mani is shown from the back riding his tricycle (he uses it because he
+can't walk.) People are seen around.
+
+00:36 - 00:38
+Scene outside the computer lab at the slum. Video caption: "Ambedkar 
+Community Computer Center (AC3) - a space in Sudarshan layout." We can 
+see a square yellow sign up on the wall with logos and words in Kannada 
+and in English. In Kannada it reads: "Dr. Ambedkar Literacy Improvement 
+Program - Facility provided by Janatantra Youth Forum - New Guruppana 
+Palya - Bangalore 32." In English: "Youth's Democratic Forum". To the 
+left of the sign (your right) there is a closed gray door with paper 
+signs on it, and to its right (your left) there are broken glass windows. 
+
+00:39 - 00:43
+A scene inside the lab shows a white paper sign with the design of the 
+dynamic duo (a big and strong GNU seen from the front flying together 
+with a small penguin); the words read: "Ambedkar Community Computer 
+Center." The camera goes down to show another paper sign right next to 
+it, with the design of a GNU head and the words: "GNU-Linux. Free 
+Software is the future. The future is ours." 
+
+00:44 - 00:58
+Exterior scene. Video caption: "Mani - a 18 years old kid." We can see 
+Mani facing the camera on his tricycle, surrounded by two boys wearing 
+white school clothes and carrying small backpacks. There is also a man 
+helping Mani turn around in the opposite direction. Mani drives the
+tricylce with his hands only. White cement blocks and other construction 
+materials can be seen at both sides as Mani drives away along Sudarshan 
+Layout. 
+
+00:59 - 01:01
+Transition. Mani is seen from the side as he smiles sitting on the 
+ground in front of the entrance door to the lab.
+
+01:02 - 01:25
+Scene inside the lab. Video caption: "Mani teaches GNU-Linux software to 
+other kids." We can see Mani and other young men sitting at a table and 
+talking in front of a laptop. Close-up of the lid of a laptop with a 
+big sticker that reads: "Gimp arte..." Video caption changes to "Mani a 
+GIMP artist." Mani is seen sitting in front of a laptop that shows the
+image of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and a GNU head on the screen. 
+Close-up of Mani's face, he concentrates in drawing a GNU head with 
+GIMP. We can see how he manipulates the laptop keys and the image taking 
+shape on the screen.
+
+01:26 - 01:43
+Transition to show close-ups of several colorful digital paintings made 
+by Mani with GIMP. 
+
+01:44 - 02:23
+Transition to the exterior, late in the evening and dark. Video caption: 
+"Mani's Quest - a daily journey to learn GNU-Linux."  We can see a wide 
+busy road with several lanes in both directions and lots of vehicles 
+driving along with their lights on. As the vehicles pass by, Mani is 
+seen riding his tricycle along the median divider of the road, escorted 
+by two young men who at a certain point lift the tricycle to place it 
+on the low median divider. A third man approaches to help. He steps 
+onto the road among cars to clear the way for Mani. With a gesture of 
+his hand he indicates that it is now safe to walk across.  Mani's 
+escorts lift the tricycle off the median divider and push it rushing 
+across the road. 
+
+02:24 - 02:40
+The previous scene dissolves into a view of the roofs at the slum. Video 
+caption: "We Use GNU Linux - a work in progress." Two green balloons 
+in the middle of the screen go up in the air. A woman is seen on a 
+terrace hanging some clothes on a low wall on top of which there is also 
+a carpet. As the camera continues to follow the balloons, it shows 
+another terrace with clothing hanging out to dry. The balloons keep 
+going up until they leave behind the slum area and approach the tall 
+apartment buildings nearby. The video caption changes to: "film by: 
+abhigyan singh - address@hidden - 358 40 855 1354." 
+
+02:41 - 03:00
