I am SO sorry I've come late to this state of play - straight-talking from a Brazilian film-maker about why the World Cup should never have been held in Brazil - at least, not in the way in its been done.
She produced this excellent video below a year ago - and tho' it's received more than 4 million views, its a shame more of the right people didn't heed its message: 'I think the World Cup and Olympics are great events, but not what our country needs right now.' (See others in the same theme.)
Watch this video (or any of her others) - and will you really be able to watch comfortably another game? Features a VERY upset doctor at lack of health funding, and words of the Brazilian president Brazilian President Dilma praising up Brazil, over images of poor housing, poverty, oppression and police violence.
Today, according to AFP, that same President has said Brazil has scored a “goleada”, or large victory, over pessimists who warned the World Cup would be plagued by unrest, chaos or crime. “We beat the pessimists, the people who were predicting chaos, and the Cup is a success across Brazil,” she said as she inaugurated a hospital in Rio de Janeiro state.
Who do I believe - the President, or the people?
