A collection of short films from filmmaker Carla Dauden explain why many Brazilians are unhappy that the World Cup (and Olympic Games) are being hosted in their country.

Part 1 is a visual jounrey though the streets and summary of the isuues; Part 2 is the original piece to camera by the filmmaker entitled "No, I'm Not Going to the world Cup" which racked up an astonishing 4 million views; Part 3 is the follow-up video "Yes, You Can Still Go to the World Cup, If...".
