Favela Olímpica
documentary | 93'
pre-editing
The film unfolds in Rio de Janeiro on both sides of the wall separating the new Olympic Stadium and the favéla Vila Autódromo. Nothing prevents the co-existence of these two worlds but some judge them “incompatible” including Rio’s mayor.
His wish to reclaim these area reserved for Rio’s poor since the 1990 sets off a lopsided power struggle as people with little means fight to keep their home.
Meanwhile, the Opening Ceremony approaches . . .
