Transcript for Disability Inclusion Music Video

Black screen with the words “Chesire Homes Society of Zambia” in big white letters. Upbeat music starts. Blurred video of someone with albinism walking and the word “Presents” pops on the screen in white letters. *Voiceover* “Chesire Homes Society of Zambia with support from the Liliane Foundation.” The words “John Chiti” pop on the screen in white letters as video of the person walking continues. Cut to a closeup of the person with a navy-blue shirt walking during daylight. He is bald and wearing dark sunglasses. Someone starts to sing. “Oooooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah / It’s a D line production.” The person, John Chiti, begins to sing and dance. “Live in one big eye / Disability inclusion, yeah / Disability inclusion, hey / Disability inclusion/Disability inclusion, hey / Live in a one big eye…”

People are sitting outdoors. Some are in wheelchairs, and others are sitting with their babies, enjoying the sunlight. Chiti continues to dance in different locations: office, around a swimming pool, in the streets. A sign language interpreter signs some of the lyrics. Chiti continues to sing: “Live in one big eye / Disability inclusion, yeah / Disability inclusion, hey / Disability inclusion / Disability inclusion, hey / Live in a one big eye / All we want is inclusion / Disability inclusion…hey / Live in one big eye / We are al living in global health pandemic, yeah / Coronavirus is here / And everyone is concerned / If you are not infected, then you are affected / Rising numbers of infections, keep us all affected / That’s why, we have put up all these measures / Wash your hands, wash your hands / Social distance, social distance / Wear a mask, wear a mask / Please stay at home / Wash your hands, wash your hands / Social distance / Yeahh.” This time, Chiti is wearing a half-sleeve maroon-colored shirt. He sings joyfully outside: “Disability inclusion / Disability inclusion, hey / Disability inclusion / Disability inclusion, hey / Live in a one big eye.”

“Disability inclusion, yeah / Disability inclusion, hey / Disability inclusion / Disability inclusion, hey / Live in a one big eye / All we want is inclusion / Disability inclusion…hey / Live in one big eye.”

The video shows bright purple water filters and sanitizers. People are wearing masks and sanitizing their hands. A man joins him in the dance. He is wearing a reddish-brown jacket with a matching cap. People are still sitting outdoors while they are being shown how to wash hands and sand sanitize properly for safety reasons.

The song continues, “Disability inclusion, hey / Live in a one big eye / Disability inclusion, hey / All we want is inclusion / Disability inclusion, hey / Live in one big eye.” Another, person is now getting his nose-swab done for a COVID-19 test. Chiti continues singing about gender inclusion: “Have you thought about gender balance…yeah / Inclusion of persons with the disabilities / Think of caregivers / Consider personal assistants / What about women and girls? / Are they included? / Yeah…physical accessibilities / To all structures / Crucial concerning is needed. Oh yeah, yeah / Reasonable accommodations / Modified modalities. Information in accessible formats / Yeaahh.” Song continues in another language. People with disabilities are standing together and holding flyers that say, “We can do it.” Chiti continues to sing: “Disability, it’s not inability / Give us the opportunity because we can do it…yeah.” People are holding flyers of “Disability Inclusion.” Song continues: “Disability, it’s not inability / Give us the opportunity because we can do it…yeah” The same lines keep on repeating: “Disability, it’s not inability / Give us the opportunity because we can do it…yeah.” Many people are dressed in suits and ties. People continue to dance from their wheelchairs while Chiti continues to dance with another man around the swimming pool and with people. The music is fading slowly and the screen dissolves.
