Under: General
World Cup 2010
gets the expose-esque documentary treatment from South African
filmmaker Craig Tanner and Levitation
Films.
It already caused a bit of a stir at the Durban International Film
Festival and looks to repeat the trick worldwide upon it's
release
(date TBD).
According to the filmmakers "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 apartheid’s yoke, millions live in shacks and
have no
access to water – a South Africa where life expectancy has
plummeted to
below that of Ethiopia."
Start to make your own minds up with this trailer. Me? I'm all for
stuff like this.
