Notes for 1964 paralympic video 

The paralympians are in wheelchairs 

The opening ceremony was people dressed in white paraded around the running track clashing  cymbals and people drumming .

Some teams have only 1 or 2 people in it.

They line up in alphabetical order once all the teams have finished marching around the stadium.

Doves are set free once someone takes something from the person behind him

Some random people go running around wildly in martial art uniforms with swords then a man in traditional samurai clothes leading the people in martial art uniform in a line .
