The Road to Rio with Voiceover

Few fathers will ever have the pleasure of being able to record the voiceover for a very moving video that was made by his daughter and two of her university colleagues. I am one of the fortunate few. Anthony Lawson.

This short video describes some of Rio de Janeiro's 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic infrastructure development plans that are threatening and destroying favela communities with forced evictions.

The Olympic games should be played in Greece on a permanent basis and under the supervision of the Greek people.

[Anthony Lawson]

Good idea.

[yowzee]

That's absolutely despicable. To hell with the Olympics and what it stands for in this era. Everyone who can do this type of damage and similar atrocities to the poor without a hint of remorse or conscience are clearly damned and cursed. Pity their soul-less carcasses.

[vadermask]

Shame.

[Charge5]

Very true. I heard they could use the money.

[manolo4379]

Lets see: this in not to improve anybody"s living standars,not at all! just to make more money from the Olympic games,and knowing that a jew is in charge of the Brazillian games I guess the money is not going to the regular brazillian either.

I want to know how many israeli or jewish owned companies will get the big pie of money.

[manolo4379]

Why I'm NOT surpised that the president of the Rio games is a jew :carlos arthur nuzman..more money for zion from the Brazilians pockets

[rahimuddin siddiqui]

It is no one's right to deprive people from there home and country whether govt. or any induvidual. In the name of sprot this unjust is just unacceptable.
