Gabriel Reports on the World Cup (0+)

the Netherlands, 2014, colour, 17 min.
Director: Els van Driel
Brazilian boy Gabriel Matos is still very young when he learns that the 2014 World Cup will be held in his home country. To transport hundreds of thousands supporters to the football stadium, a new rail line is being developed straight through his neighbourhood. Houses are being demolished, entire families are forced to move and even the children’s local football pitch will soon disappear. By becoming a journalist he tries to stand up for his rights.
