| Description: | Armed soldiers patrol streets where civilians and children are out and about. Soldier walks by, wearing black ski mask - scary, mean, threatening, anonymous, disguised. He has something on his arm labeled "PE" in large letters, and he walks past shanty town housing and residents. High angle WS people crowding in street next to slum housing area. Closer shots of soldiers waiting, frisking some men. Soldiers, primarily masked, guard a bus and garbage-strewn alley; one of them holds his hand over camera lens to prevent filming, but it seems a half-hearted effort. Arrest (?). Soldiers wave the camera away. | |
