Host of the 2010 World Cup, South Africa has spent $4.1 billion on tournament preparations. But the plight of the country's poor has grown worse in the lead-up to the World Cup.
A new film from War on Want shows what many of South Africa's poor think about the World Cup. Through a series of interviews with people affected directly by the games, including those displaced to remote transit camps, our film offers a new perspective on the world's most widely viewed sporting event.
To hear more from the people interviewed in the film, check our interactive panoramas from inside Blikkiesdorp, one of South Africa's most notorious transit camps for poor people who have been evicted from their homes.
You can also share the film with friends and colleagues on Facebook and Twitter.
We are also urging people to sign our call in support of War on Want's grassroots partners fighting evictions and the denial of public services. Sign our call today.
