The Untold Truth of the 2014 World Cup

For Brazilians, the 2014 FIFA World Cup was supposed to be a dream come true, a moment of national pride and celebration. Instead, it became a nightmare. This documentary reveals the true story behind the world's most expensive World Cup, exposing the staggering costs, the widespread corruption, and the social unrest it ignited. While politicians promised new schools and hospitals, the public watched as billions of taxpayer dollars were poured into extravagant, often unnecessary stadiums, many of which now sit empty. This investment came at the expense of basic public services, fueling massive nationwide protests and violent clashes between citizens and a militarized police force. This is a story of a nation in turmoil, where a love for football collided with the brutal reality of political and corporate greed. The film follows the brave journalists and ordinary people who risked everything to expose the truth, asking a powerful question: when the games are over, what is the real legacy of a mega-event built on corruption and lies?Uploaded 02-11-25Instagram - @realstoriesdocsAny queries, please contact us at: owned-enquiries@littledotstudios.com Learn more about your ad choices.
