I think it's a really important mechanism to have a real 
positive conversation within our society about disability. I'm 
just so proud that our Paralympic athletes doing incredible 
things that permeates through our society in a positive way.

This is not going to happen overnight. So, it's going to take 
time for this change, but we have to stay resilient and speak 
up and make sure that we come together as a community.

I have always tried to keep up with my image. At least that's 
one thing that you got to hold on to. Even though, you know, 
you're out here, but you don't have to look like youÕre out 
here, you know.

((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
I'm incredibly proud to be a part of the Paralympic movement 
and it is gaining more and more attention and gaining more 
and more steam, not only in the US but globally. I think it's 
critically important, really as a societal thing, to look at how 
we can reframe the way that we look at disability.  
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
The reaction of my friends and family to my blindness was 
that they couldn't imagine what my life was going to be like. 
And they just feel sorry for me.  
((Courtesy: Felix Chen/USOPC)) 
Paralympics offers us an opportunity to get excited about 
wheelchair racing or get excited about blind athletes tearing 
down a ski slope or riding a tandem bike at 30, 40 miles [50, 
60 km] an hour. 
((NATS)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
I think it's a really important sort of mechanism to have a real 
positive, cathartic conversation within our society about 
disability. And I'm just so proud that not only are our 
Paralympic athletes doing incredible things at the 
Paralympics themselves but then that carries out and 
permeates throughout our society in a positive way.  
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
So, for about seven years,  
((Courtesy: Brad Snyder)) 
I was an explosive ordnance disposal officer in the Navy. I 
deployed both to Iraq and to Afghanistan during that time 
period. On September 7th, 2011, I was part of an assault 
team that was doing combat operations in the Kandahar 
province of Afghanistan. At about seven thirty in the 
morning, I stepped on an improvised explosive device that 
detonated about a foot and a half [half a meter] in front of 
me. The really good news is I was able to walk away from 
that blast. The bad news is, as a result of the blast injuries I 
sustained to my face, I lost my vision permanently.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
And I'm normally a pretty upbeat positive person. I like to be 
a leader in my community and I didn't like that everybody's 
reaction to me was that of pity. So, I was looking for an 
opportunity to show everyone, in action, that this diagnosis 
of blindness was not going to get me down. And thankfully, 
sports sort of entered the picture. I was offered an 
opportunity to participate in the Warrior Games, which was 
((Courtesy: Brad Snyder)) 
an adaptive event for wounded vets. Determined that I had 
the aptitude to be able to get into the Paralympics, there was 
a sense of urgency and someone actually along the way 
said that I was very lucky to have been injured in a 
Paralympic year.  
((Courtesy: Felix Chen/USOPC)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
I did what I could to kind of get into the rankings as a 
Paralympic athlete in 2012, and kind of shot to the top and 
had the opportunity to join Team USA exactly a year from 
the day that I lost my vision. And that really kind of set me on 
a new path.  
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
I think one of the most difficult things about sustaining a 
traumatic injury, like the one that I did with blindness or there 
are others, but for me, much of my sense of identity revolved 
around  
((Courtesy: Brad Snyder)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
being in the military, doing a really austere and crazy 
mission, having a really kind of expansive set of capabilities, 
sort of being someone who could jump out of an aircraft at 
high altitudes or dive down to the bottom of the ocean and 
do, you know, do missions that no one else was able to do.  
Following blindness though, there are, I can't even, I can't 
wash the dishes. I can't find my way to the bathroom 
sometimes. Just very, very basic things were a major 
struggle. And that's a huge blow to my confidence, my sense 
of self, my sense of identity.  
((Courtesy: Sara Snyder)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
Swimming, for me, was a way to sort of reorient myself and 
go back to something I had done for so long,  
((Courtesy: Brad Snyder)) 
from the age of 11 all the way through college,  
((Courtesy: Sara Snyder)) 
swimming was a big part of my identity and physical activity 
was a big part of my identity. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
Following the Rio Games, I had really accomplished 
everything that I had wanted to accomplish.  
((Courtesy: Felix Chen/USOPC)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
But still in my heart, I felt like I was still an athlete and I 
wanted to keep going.  
((Courtesy: Focal Flame Photography)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete))  
And so, an opportunity to join the triathlon, join a triathlon 
camp emerged in 2017,  
((Courtesy: Brad Snyder)) 
and from the, from day one of that camp, I was hooked on 
triathlons.  
((Courtesy: Sara Snyder)) 
The most significant difference between swimming and 
triathlon is that I do the entire race tethered to a guide. So, in 
the pool, I'm all by myself. I put my head in the water. I swim 
my distance, whether that's a 50 meter, 100 meter or 400 
meters. And I have no idea what's going on. I have no idea 
where my competitors are. All I can control is my line 
through the lane, my turns, my pace, my exertion, those 
sorts of things.  
((Courtesy: David Powell)) 
So, it's very individually focused, almost exclusively internally 
focused.  
((Courtesy: Sara Snyder)) 
Triathlon does not allow you the flexibility to do that. There's 
constantly variables that you have to adjust to, to react to. 
There is a very, you know, there's a big racecourse with a 
big field of athletes who are all kind of doing all kinds of 
crazy things. There is no lane to keep you separate from the 
competitors. So, sometimes you tangle up right off the start.  
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
Sara Snyder: Is Timber being shy? 
Brad Snyder: Yeah, Timber was very curious about why I 
was doing calisthenics. 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete)) 
((Sara Snyder, Wife of Brad Snyder))   
I think my family has adjusted to not setting an expectation 
for  
((Courtesy: Manda Weaver)) 
what I or we are capable of. 
((Courtesy: Sara Snyder)) 
I think that I was able to shatter a lot of those expectations 
right off the bat.  
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete)) 
One of the biggest tragedies of this whole thing is that 
though my wife and I have trained side by side for three 
years, she won't be able to go to the games. 
And if anything, I think my family expects me to continue 
breaking down those barriers and I feel some level of maybe 
not pressure but definitely motivation to continue to break 
down barriers as much as possible, not only for myself but I 
understand now that, based on the platform I have through 
Paralympics, I can be a leader within our community. I can 
be a leader within the disabled community. I can be a leader 
within the athletic community and a leader for our veteran 
community. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete)) 
When I'm not training or competing, I just began a PhD 
program here at Princeton. My goal, my new professional 
goal is to return to the Naval Academy and teach leadership 
and ethics to our midshipmen who have volunteered to serve 
their country. 
((NATS))  
Brad Snyder: Oh man, IÕm just tired. 
((Brad Snyder, Paralympic Athlete)) 
I kind of want to be the best at everything, whether it's 
making pizza or competing in the Paralympic triathlon. I think 
this notion of excellence really motivates me. I don't think it's, 
when you use the word competitive, for me it's not 
necessarily competitive. I'm not looking to beat other people. 
I'm looking to do something in an excellent way, in the most 
excellent way, so that by virtue of achieving that level of 
excellence, I have to beat other people but that's not what 
I'm trying to achieve. What I'm trying to achieve is 
excellence. And I like having that mindset because on the 
racecourse, I'm kind of cheering for everybody else too. I 
want them to be excellent. I want them to be their most 
excellent self. I just also want my most excellent self to be 
better than their excellent self, if that makes any sense.

((PKG)) PORTLAND PROTESTS   
((TRT: 05:34)) 
((Topic Banner: Portland Protests))  
((Reporter/Camera: Natasha Mozgovaya)) 
((Adapted by: Zdenko Novacki)) 
((Map: Portland, Oregon))    
((Main characters: 2 female; 4 male))  
((NATS: Police Intercom)) 
This is the Portland Police Bureau. No permit has been 
issued to park on the streets or any other roadways in the 
area.  
((Banner: Portland has a history of organized protests, 
dating to the 1800s.
The latest cycle began in May 2020, after police in 
Minneapolis killed George Floyd, and protests continue.)) 
((NATS: Police Intercom)) 
All streets remain open to vehicular traffic. Proceed to the 
nearest sidewalk and obey all laws. Failure to adhere to this 
order may result in citation or arrest. 
((NATS/MUSIC)) 
((Allan Classen, Northwest Examiner)) 
WeÕve got policing that's out of touch with the social need but 
is still institutionally strong and cannot be pressured to 
reform. And we've got angry people. I guess, you might call 
the anarchists here who are taking out anger and causing 
damage to things randomly, feeling thatÕs somehow striking 
out against authority. The crazy thing is we've got two forces 
here that would seem diametrically opposed, and yet they're 
feeding each other. The anarchists would say that they want 
to show how policing is ineffectual. Policing can't stop them. 
They can't make it safe. And the police would like to say, 
ŅSee, when you don't fund us enough, see how much 
craziness goes on. There's more crime. There's more 
shooting. So, you need to fund us more.Ó And these kinds of 
things actually give fuel to each other. ItÕs what you call a 
vicious cycle. They're both feeding each other and speeding 
a downward spiral which is helping nobody.  
((NATS)) 
((Kamelah Adams, Owner, Protest Shirts Stand)) 
I am born and raised here. And yes, it is a liberal city. But 
there are still a lot of micro aggressions and implicit bias that 
I experience today. Like I can still go into a store on, let's 
say, Mississippi Avenue and be followed around that store 
because of the color of my skin. So, we still have a lot of 
work to do. And, you know, racism and biases are ingrained 
in the DNA, in the fabric of America. So, this, you know, us 
having honest conversations and talking about race and 
biases because of someone's sexuality, sexual orientation, 
we have to continue these conversations and we have to 
make real change to move forward.  
((NATS)) 
((Mike Streak, Community Volunteer)) 
I think theyÕre a bunch of disillusioned people just out to 
destroy things, I guess. You know, they have no purpose, no 
legitimate protest. TheyÕre just out there creating havoc, you 
know, breaking windows, burning trash cans, you know. ItÕs 
all senseless activity as far as I can tell. But I thought the 
police did a great job. 
((NATS)) 
((Protester from Portland)) 
Do you think itÕs not the peopleÕs job to like criticize the 
government if they're doing something really wrong like 
killing people or enslaving more people? There are more 
people in our prisons than any other country. Would you like 
to explain that? Because I'm the daughter of one of them.  
((NATS)) 
((Protester from outside Portland)) 
We're just out here just to support our fellow protesters and 
let them know that we're going to stand with them. And we 
decided to come to this area because it seemed like this 
area is very quiet and a lot of people are choosing property 
over humans. And we want them to change their mind, 
change their thought about that.  
((NATS)) 
((Kamelah Adams, Owner, Protest Shirts Stand)) 
Protest is the voice of the unheard, right? And when there is 
an injustice happening, it affects us all, regardless if anyone 
wants to believe that or not. But any injustice will affect us 
all. So, I feel like that's the protest. ItÕs translating that. 
((NATS)) 
((Allen, Community Volunteer)) 
The challenge with protests are that once they transition into 
breaking windows, vandalism, they've lost the empathy of 
the community. They alsoÉ..itÕs counterproductive. 
Understand that there's systemic racism. There's a number 
of challenges in American society. But you don't solve that 
by vandalism. That actually plays right into the hands of the 
people who are proponents of that. So, itÕs a shame.  
((NATS)) 
((Kamelah Adams, Owner, Protest Shirts Stand)) 
I mean, we got to think about it though. This change is not 
going to happen overnight. This is, what, 465 years of racism 
ingrained in our country? This is not going to happen 
overnight. So, it's going to take time for this change, but we 
have to stay resilient and speak up and make sure that we 
come together as a community.

I had a big house where everybody comes by. If anyone 
wants to take a shower, want to eat or whatsoever, you 
know, wanted some clothes, they always come see me and 
then theyÕll always be taken care of.  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

My name is Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee. 
((NATS: Tracy))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

Oh, look. A cutting board. 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

IÕve been homeless over a year. Lost employment. And also 
because the rent increased, itÕs too high to afford it. Things 
went bad. 
((NATS: Tracy cooking fish))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

The fish, it got donated this morning. When people donate 
things, we like usually cook it and share with everyone else. 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

This is my community. I've been staying in this area for my 
whole life. And a lot of these people that is in this homeless 
encampment is my friends and family and relatives, you 
know.  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
So, even though I wasn't homeless, I was always coming 
here to visit them and bringing them food or things like that, 
you know. 
((NATS:  Tracy reading bullet points for advocacy

((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

Housing is human rights. Safety: Women are being raped 
out here. People are getting burned in the fires.  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

I am a volunteer. I'm the head administrator of The 
Village. And I'm helping the founder very closely to help 
eradicate this homelessness problem, you know. 
((NATS: Charlie sings))

Telling the truth isnÕt going to be easy. Who broke my 
window?  
((NATS: Charlie laughs)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

They never know who is going to be here next. You know, 
being homeless is not a crime. You know, itÕs not a choice. I 
know a lot of these people. Like I said, I grew up in this 
community. And a lot of them knows me, you know, and they 
respect me because I've always, you know, had a big heart. 
((NATS: Tracy helping Charlie and Didi))  
((Tracy)) Put that down. LetÕs forget about that. LetÕs forget 
about that. 
((Charlie)) You know heÕs crazy. HeÕs cuckoo. 
((Tracy)) Alright, IÕm going to tell you the good news. You 
guys are going to leave for five days, right? 
((Charlie)) Yeah. 
((Tracy)) You leaving for five days?  
((Charlie)) After I get her washed up, cleaned up. 
((Tracy)) Okay, by the time you get back, your house will be 
up.  
((Charlie)) Oh, I love you.  
((Tracy)) YouÕll go inside a house instead of a tent. Okay? 
((Charlie)) Thank you. 
((NATS:  Crook and man arguing))  
((Man))É..because heÕs a liar, because heÕs a liar. 
((Crook)) I understand that. 
((Charlie to Didi)) Come on baby, let me take you and go 
get you a shower.  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

I have six children. I was 13 and I had a child when I was in 
seventh grade. And by being a young teen mom, you know, 
we wanted to do the best for our child, right? So, I continued 
going to school and graduated from high school and 
proceeded to go to college. But I never finished it because, 
due to the fact that, you know, just being, just life, you know.  
Things go wrong and sometimes it doesn't pick back up. So, 
but I thrive. And later on, I have like five more, you know, 
children. And I was holding on to being a mom. I mean a 
good mom. But at the same time, I lost my house in 2014 
because someone got killed outside my house.   
((NATS / MUSIC)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

The landlord sold the house and they evicted me. So, when 
they evicted me, I don't have no money.  
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
Everything was just like falling apart, you know. I couldnÕt 
afford housing.  
((NATS: Tracy))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
Rise and shine everybody. Meatball. 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
After that I lost my children, because CPS [Child Protective 
Services] said I didnÕt have a home for them. They have to 
stay with my sister. I see them all the time. She has four kids 
of her own. She's amazing.  
((NATS / MUSIC)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
I didn't want to like intervene with, you know, their 
household, whatever, so. And also, you know, I'm with 
someone. You know, we didn't want to like intrude or 
anything like that, you know, because they was already set 
for how many bedrooms they have. So, I didnÕt want them to.  
((NATS:  Tracy))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

IÕm not wearing those fake eyelashes today. 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

I was staying with my mom and she had to move because of 
the rent increase. For a two bedroom, she was spending like 
$1600.They wanted it to go up to like $2300. She had to 
move to a smaller place to which, where only she could only 
have herself there, you know. I had to become homeless 
and get a tent and put it here where everybody was at.  
((NATS: Tracy showing her tent))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
This is my little bed. And my closet is back here but itÕs so 
messy. You donÕt want to see that. And this is where it is. ItÕs 
the kitchen, the living room, everything is here. If I have my 
generator on, then I get to watch TV. 
I don't believe there's such a thing as being comfortable 
around here because there is no way to be comfortable 
here.  Now you don't even have a house to protect 
us. Especially being a woman, being out here in the streets 
is even worse because you got to protect yourself from being 
raped. Sometimes I'll be by myself and it's scary. And when I 
stay with.....I always stay protected. So, this is what goes in 
my side window, my little, tiny knife.  
((NATS: Tracy showing the makeshift bathroom))  
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
This is a bathroom. This is not the best-looking bathroom, 
but people just go in the garbage can because the city didnÕt 
bring us bathrooms, so we have to make our own. 
((NATS: Tracy showers)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
I have always tried to keep up with my image. At least that's 
one thing that you got to hold on to. Even though, you know, 
you're out here, but you don't have to look like youÕre out 
here, you know. By being out here, people already 
discriminate us or even judge us by the way we are living.   
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

So, just a little bit of looking proper is a long way to go. 
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

Being a woman and having to have women necessities and 
stuff like, you know, we have to up wash all the time. And it's 
hard out here because we donÕt have water. We don't have 
like things to keep us sanitized and keep us like healthy.   
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village;

You know, it's cold and at the same time, you know, like 
emotion and depression gets worse because we canÕt have 
our children here with us, you know.  
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
When you have children, you can't bring them out here with 
you because, you know, CPS [Child Protective Services] will 
be like that's child endangerment.  
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
We need to feel like weÕre secure, you know. We need to 
feel like we're human. We need to feel like weÕre one of 
many humans that walk on this earth. We need respect. We 
need encouragement.  
((NATS)) 
((Mouangjoi Tracy Saelee, Volunteer, The Village; 
Unhoused)) 
A lot of us, homeless people, out here, is very smart, very 
intelligent, you know. They have career goals, you 
know. They have things that they want to do but they can't 
because they don't even have a house to go home and lay 
their head down and to think about, you know, to be able to 
wake up in the morning and then get ready to go to 
work. So, you know, it's not because we're lazy. ItÕs not 
because we don't want to. This is the richest country in the 
world, America. So, why are we homeless?
