As the government of Brazil prepares for the 2014 World Cup, these communities face imminent destruction and displacement. But unlike similar travesties in the lead up to past global sporting events such as the Beijing Olympics and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the story unfolds to show the opportunity to set a new precedent and prevent this grave injustice from taking place. With the world watching as Brazil prepares for this global celebration of soccer, the government must make a choice whether to listen to its local communities or perpetuate business as usual.
