Fahrenheit 2010 TRAILER

For four action-packed weeks in June and July 2010, the largest international television audience to ever follow a single event will be watching the football World Cup in South Africa. As the clock ticks down, and the nations of the world anticipate the beautiful games showpiece, questions are being asked about what will happen after the trophy is lifted, the caravans move on, and the dogs stop barking... Fahrenheit 2010 cuts through the hype, with an uncompromising examination of what the World Cup means for South Africans themselves - in particular, who actually stands to benefit from the diversion of millions of dollars to build 21st century sports arenas in a country in which, 15 years after throwing off apartheids yoke, millions live in shacks and have no access to water a South Africa where life expectancy has plummeted to below that of Ethiopia. International heavyweights like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, construction workers, FIFAs Communications Director, street traders, politicians, and sports celebrities, to mention some of the remarkable cast, wade into the debate. National pride, corruption and even murder feature in this astonishingly candid film which peels back the glossy media veneer to expose the real concerns of ordinary South Africans: hopes about jobs, the eviction of school children to make way for construction company offices, the removal of an inconvenient community, and what traditional medicine and the influence of the ancestors might mean for the fortunes of the local team Fahrenheit 2010 takes the temperature of the Rainbow Nation as it prepares to roll outThe Greatest Show on Earth.

Brilliant. Everybody need to know what is actually going on!

I saw this movie at the Durban Film festival. It's excellent. What's most disturbing is how FIFA gets a government to waste billions of desperately needed cash on stadia just so that television shots are pretty.

@ecachucho There is a zone around the stadium, not just in it, where the local vendors are not allowed to sell. Most foriegners aren't renting cars and driving all around the city to go get souveniers.

Ramada and the Hilton aren't owned by South Africans in Soweto, so your hotel example backs my point, not yours.

You simply do not have a conception of the reality. You just want to believe this is a wonderful economic story for Africa. Do a little study on foriegn capital investment.

@Yobachi2007 The money being made inside the stadium is nothing compared to what people make outside.

Are you saying that hotels cannot make rooms available.

That restaurants cant sell food to foreigners.

That airlines can't sell tickets.

That people cant buy goods in stores, markets, shopping centers and on the side of the street.

By your account, every foreigner flys into South Africa, sleeps outside the stadium and buys only the terrible fast food available at the stadium.

@bobthefilterpuppy oh and BTW

South Africa spends R900 Billion a year on housing, health and education.

R12 Billion, thats 1.3% of that budget.

1.3%

@bobthefilterpuppy I am not missing the point. South Africa wants to show their capability on the world scale, therefore breaking perceptions about what South Africa can (or cannot) do. Had we not done it, the world would be asking; yes sure they ran a World Cup, but why did everything look like it was 20yrs old, cant they build high tech stadiums like the rest of the world (probably not because they are in Africa) and on and on...
