The 2016 Olympics are set to begin in just over a month in Rio de Janeiro. As the city prepares to receive an influx of international visitors, it is building new infrastructure and transportation systems to accommodate the surge. But the city is also undergoing another major project: hiding and removing poor people from view of foreign onlookers. I went to Rio to see how the city is transforming to make way for the Olympics

This is basically when your mom tells you to clean your room but instead of actually cleaning you just shove everything in the closet and call it clean
Or when your broom and put in under sofa
That example is so accurate, it's actually scary.
Exactly!!
This is how the entire world works. How things seem is always more important than how things are.
Suppose you work on the bottom rung of the ladder in a retail job for a big company. Your supervisor is one rung above the bottom, with his own boss 2 rungs above bottom. All 3 of you are unimportant in the greater scheme of things. Think of the corners that get cut and the turds that get polished when your boss is preparing for a visit from his own supervisor. Think of the resources that are taken from places that aren't currently under the microscope in order to get a pass mark. Maybe extra staff are put on for that one day and your store runs on the bare minimum for the rest of the week, treading water.
Now remember there's at least 20 more rungs of the ladder to climb before you're at the very top of the company. If there's that great of a blatant conflict of interest on the very bottom of the ladder, what kind of stunts are being pulled further up?
And under the bed
3 years later, the stadium's abandoned, the park's gone to waste, and the shiny new housings are neglected. So all the money was literally thrown down the drain.
NotASuicidalRobot
Resources and money that could have been used to support people and give them better opportunities. All wasted on a superficial, performative, ego-stroking event to boost one country’s image while it’s people languish in poverty.
1.5 million people live in Rio’s favelas. The total spent on the rio Olympics and was $13 billion (A significant Portion was tax payer Money). So if they would’ve taken the money spent on the Olympics and gave it to every favela resident, they each receive a check of $8666.
And I definitely think it would have been far more economical to repair the broken North Zone communities. In the long run, this would give a greater return to the economy too as these people would be valuable contributors to the workforce.
now it's hosting a hospital
It’s 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics have been officially cancelled.

THat was there even before the olympics, I went there in 2011 and they had it in place.
None of those are a big problem in Rio, the real problem is corruption. Millions of dollars for building roads, bridges, funding the police force end up in a pockets of corrupt politicians. If Brazil tackles corruption and focused more on public infrastructure the country would be a better place. Also mafias rule the streets of Rio, they will kick you out of your own house if you don't pay them. Public works projects and calling the military to take care of crime could do the country good.
Welcome to Brazil, a country where our government want to hide the poor side instead of helping it to get better.

What do you mean like a first world country?....Brazil does not attack gratuitously any other nation that I know of. What really matters?
I'm from Puerto Rico I get you exacly, all this acting has to stop we are poor af
Andrea nobody is acting like they're rich. the only money they make is off of tourists
Brazil is a third world country and they do not act like a first world country. I should know, my family lives there!
Andrea: same goes to Brazilian Portuguese language. They always think they're better than the original Portuguese people whilst they use horrifying and unnatural expressions.
And now, two years later the olympic park lies empty, deserted and in disrepair. The public parks that were built are fenced off, the athletes towers are empty and the stadiums are boarded up.

@@Ellieways In my hometown (Turin, Italy) winter olympics of 2006 had a very good legacy. But I know, this is not the norm
I went to Rio the September before the games and remember seeing all the construction. I was in a taxi and made small talk with the driver as we passed by volleyball stadiums that were being worked on. I said you must be so excited for the games and he explained how it’s a very bad thing for Rio. I didn’t realize until that conversation and everything he said ended up being accurate
Yeah that’s true because I am Portuguese

I am Brazilian and I live in Rio de Janeiro. I live in the Rocinha slum. The only thing that me and my wife want is to be able to leave this country. Life here gets worse and worse every day.
Even studying we do not get a job. Food is getting more and more expensive! People increasingly ignorant! People are attacking each other because of politicians.
best of luck to you and your family getting out of there, Mr. Juliati

i wish you and your wife good luck!! i hope both of you find yourselves in a better situation soon :)
Isn't it possible to unite all the Poors and build a revolution ?
I feel like we can compare Rio to the one cool kid in school who has a bunch of problems but just covers them up with cool clothes and money.
Worst. Rio is like this you said, but at the same time he is the scholl shooter
This is why I love Vox. Way better than Buzzfeed pathetic attempts of journalism.
I thought they were entertainment. Oh well, I'm happy they're a free service
I was thinking the same thing
BuzzFeed isn't a Journalism Company. They're slogan is literally "The Media Company for the Social Age".
I didnt know u watch vox
Buzzfeed? They are broken, whining, babies, they remind me of Al Sharpton.
"Poor people don't exist if we can't see them"
+Brandon Drew I laughed at you laughing at that. because you obviously don't get it
I also think it keeps the visitors safe from the thuggish people.
It's not safe for wealthy tourists to be around them for sure
They all poor in a different way
Ginger....sure they do. Ones perception of poor is in the eyes of the beholder. One can be rich in materials and broke in spirit, while they look at someone who is broke in materials and thinking they are broke, the one broke in money while being rich in spirit is looking at the rich in materials but broke in spirit as they are broke to them. That's a pretty scary thing that you amongst all the people who liked your comment are many actually think this way....sounds like y'all are broke in spirit, knowledge, wisdom, life...and many other meaningful everlasting qualities. The blind masses following the blind....sad....all will parish with body due to lack of substance that lasts forever
can the Brazilian government stop being a failure FOR 5 MINUTES?!
no

Can't really blame them most of the time. Those slum people aren't just poor, most are lazy bums, Rio been building buildings for them to live so they could get rid of the favelas, most of the time it works, they already got rid from a lot of them, but some people just ruin everything. Since they have to pay for water, energy and this kind of stuff, they turned the building into another slum, they started splitting the rooms with wood and selling them and would build more favelas around it.
I'm from the state of Rio de Janeiro - whose capital is the city of Rio - and our governor has recently asked the people to stop saying bad things about the state and the city on the internet. Instead he is advising us to post pictures of the beautiful parts of the city and say positive things to attract tourism. This is how bad our political class, our social justice, our public health and education are. So bad the government has to ask the people to stop spreading the news worldwide.
That's just surreal! Sad beyond words.
Dayum ur goverment is that desperate for cash
Soon enough the people will be tired of it like those in Venezuela and Syria they’ll fight back and reclaim stability it’s disgusting how much money can hurt somewhere
i have seen videos of pickpockets from Brazil and they are as aggressive as they are in Africa
Franco B. But doesn’t the government already know that everyone knows about what they’re doing?
The lesson of this video: Don’t always believe in what you see.
Wrong, Rio is made of greed and vice.
who got reccomended this 5 years later during the tokyo olympics

@@Skybound. a lot of countries have been affected to the same level as china at the beginning of the outbreak
looking back at this, what really angers me (as a Greek, too) is how the Olympics have been completely transformed from something that merely had to do with sports to something that's directly linked to money, influence and an area's appearance. I adore Rio. I feel like it could even be my second home, if I ever chose to move out of my country. And it disgusts me how the country's own government doesn't care. That's nothing new, really; most countries worldwide favor money over actually helping their people but, in this case, they have enough audacity to disregard Brazilians so... obviously.
i know right its like a slightly different version of mediterranean culture
Wait to gauis hears this 😮
You should do a 2019 update of Rio now that the Olympics have passed. What is it like there now?
He is basically failing, 4 Rio governos was arested and the brazil president in 2016 ( Dilma ) was

Im brazillian so... its bad
A shithole. Not to mention they just had massive rain and floodings and some 30 people died in two days.
The same
@Kana Moquith I probably have watched that part, how can prisoners overcome the prison right? It means the system is failing, and yes, those decapitating and plucking heart out of their chest was horrible.
i have no idea why the olympic committee thought this was a good idea
Corruption
back in 2008, rio seemed great, poverty was slowing down, people getting jobs, economy on the rise. ect... it seemed like a good idea then, but they would def. not make the choice now. and its a bit too late to go back
Yeah, welcome to reality.
Blame Brazil. They were the ones who paid money to be the host.
Well Brazil had horrible corruption in the first place so think about it, the Rio Olympics is coming soon but the committee didn't notice this until now so what's the purpose of massive sports driven companies, to make money, they don't really have time to pick s new country they do the planning several years earlier the committee didn't notice this until a year ago so that's why.
This is heartbreaking, we need to see more of this in the news, not Kim Kardashian's latest surgery. Hopefully the Brazillian government will see what they are doing wrong soon.
They already know.. but they don't care about people
they know exactly what they are doing, they don't care at all
they're not trying to do the right thing for brazil, they just don't care
let me tell you, it got worse, people are buying bones to make soup because thats all we can afford, real meat can go to up 20 to a 100, a full tank of gasoline is 25% of our minimium pay wage...

Aren't guns illegal in Brazil?
No totally, but to buy and use the gun there is HUGE burocracy that only judges and prosecutors can have guns much easier. But the guns are forbidden for all people, is forbidden only have the gun without necessities or reasons that justify you need it.
Bandits can get guns much easier than normal people.

As a Brazilian I'm gonna tell you guys the truth, Rio is one of the most beautiful places in Brazil, however is one of the most dangerous too, Rio's police is the most violent *in the world* , a lot of hospitals were forgiven because of this stupid Olympics, don't even ask me about the world cup. I'm from São paulo, I love Brazil in all aspects, but the corrupt government of this country is letting Brazil into a hole. Sometime ago the brazilian people got FURIOUS, then the truckers from all the country stopped working, the country went into a caos, the markets were running out of supplies, animals from farms were dieing without food, all the prices were getting so high, president was trying to do a lot of deals, the gasoline prices increased from R$3,60 to R$4,80 (sometimes even R$5,00 a liter). As I said, I hate this country's government, and if it doesn't get better I'll get the f*ck out of this place.

After the games, this park will be like so many other Olympic Parks, empty and useless.
Why can't we just have one location for the Summer and Winter Olympics, and keep it maintained. Most of the structures they build never get used again. It's just senseless to me.
at least some of the arenas will be transformed in schools
at least some of the arenas will be transformed in schools
at least some of the arenas will be transformed in schools
Because its suppose to be an international game and having the host city change internationally goes a long way to drive home that point. Most of the Olympic games were hosted in the US or Europe and a lot of people in other country are already resentful of that fact. Another solution would be to make it so people won't make such a damn big deal about the games (at least financially) but there is just too much profit to be made by the rich and powerful. There's also no international regulatory entity that can do anything about it either and certainly not one where profit isn't one of the primary motive.
That's understandable, however it will still be unfair as that location only will benefit from the Olympics. The Olympics is bigger than just an international sporting event, it attracts tourists (while where there's tourists money is generated). So for instance if there's a permanent location in a place such as Paris, only the French benefit from it. That therefore causes conflicts, weakens unity in the world and etc.
With all of that said perhaps a remote area with no governing body directing it is a better idea.
Oh boy. You should also see what the Chinese government did in preparation for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Heartbreaking as well.

Eh if u only knew
didn't this just happen with the world cup two years ago?
happens every time the international community shines a light on people with no money. all the people with money have to satisfy their guilt by becoming a cause-ist. cant go play sports in a poor nation w.o pretending to care a little to get rid of that guilt.
just like Beijing 4 years ago...world cup...and all the others.
I wouldn't call it guilt, tourism is very important to that region, and retaining a good image in the eyes of the rest of the world promotes tourism
Yeah, in general
This is pretty common where tourism is a major industry. Here in Hawaii there was once a law that made sleeping on the streets illegal, many people saw this as pretty much making homeless people breaking the law just for being homeless, of course the law was later nulled after a few protests.
It's kind of like living in a city with an ivy league school. Don't mess with the rich people. Kill each other, but don't go up the hill.

As a Brazilian, I can say this is very accurate for São Paulo.

Events like these leave cities crippled and with facilities they have nothing to do with
Thankfully for my country, the amount of athletes is enough to fill in the facilities (since they turned into a training area, but still usable for the Olympics or anything like that). Plus there's the current pandemic, so they've been using some of the rooms for Quarantine.
@@wizoneoncereveluv9668 The Philippines. One of the sports facilities would've still been in use currently if it weren't for the pandemic, but thankfully the "sports city" was made such that it could hold evacuees or patients if ever needed. Plus unlike most "local" sports facilities, the sports city that was made for the 2019 SEA Games is up to international standards, properly ventillated, air-conditioned, and maintained.
Events like these break a country into 2 or more parts ....i m sure one of them will rise and make a seperate nation
Not many people know this but India also did something like this when it hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Whoa I'm Indian and I did not know that
But yeah probably true
No the stadiums are used still today and that's the best performence of India in Commonwealth
I feel ashamed knowing that my country has to do this in order to show only the "good" side of Brazil, treating the poor like this is just wrong.
It's not just in Rio. all around Brazil there are large areas of land populated by the poor which we call the "favelas" after moving to Canada I really started to miss my hometown in Brazil I remembered it being beautiful, but after a family visit I never want to live there again. it's sickening how far the Brazilian government ignores the poor. I guess that's what corruption does to a country
mr mister I learnt about favelas in my Secondary School, and I was disgusted in how Brazil just tried to sweep the problem under the rug
It's a recurrent problem all over the world. It has taken quite a grim turn in Latin America, but it also happens in the developed north. I have been doing some research on the matter and the majority of the authors from all areas (sociology, politics, art, architecture and even economy) point out that the phenomenon have existed since a long time a go, because it's the physical manifestation of inequalitywithin the built environment, and inequality is a characteristic of societies. Even the nordic countries have inequality, but not in the same degree as Latin America or even the USA. Going back to the topic at hand. The authors I have been studying, point out that inequality and illegal settlements got out of "control" since the 1980's, under the Reaganomics and Thatcherism policies that imposed the neoliberal agenda and therefore increasing inequality.
mr mister revolution?
that's what capitalism does to the world

Yes, I used to live in brazil a couple years ago. My dad was once pointed a gun to his head, just right outside our house. I know it's getting even worse, so I fear for my family.
How/why do you guys know English?
@@jermisious8737 because english is the morst used language in the world, so we have to know it.
Stay honest vox, we proud of you
Honest? Might want to fact check a bit. This is biased af
DOnker l
Fred J3 Then tell me why are they showing the problems of a "socialist" government
Vox honest?😂😂😂
Why isn't this honest?
can't wait for the rio olympics guys i'm so excited
Thanks for the content, I never knew such problem.
Rich get richer. Poor get poorer. It's so sad that it's that way.
Thirsty Girl69 nope.
That’s called capitalism
@@povijest74 but it isn't just the rich's problem why these people are poor. Get yourself educated and get a good job, you'll be poor no more.
Pungent Sauce You know that you need money to get yourself educated. You also have to have a job.
Brandon Diaz ripppp
China did the same during the Beijing Olympics.
We know
Only worse
I'd been there during that period of time.
Only thing is that China has a firm grip on the Internet and censors everything keeping the massacres a secret
In a different way, the poor doesn't exactly live in the city, see if you can survive in beijing, you are guarenteed to be kinda well off. Instead of poor people, beijing covered up two things: air pollution and petitioners. They shut down factories in cities around beijing and pretty much jailed every petitioners. They also banned private cars in beijing during the olympics, and since factories were closed, the rural migrant workers went home so tourists won't see 'poor' people.
So what's new? It's the same everywhere in the world. Everywhere
Hey we have this in our city as well! In Legazpi City they walled away a shanty town which was renamed Victory Village after the Embarcadero was made near it. Classic sweep under the rug and spray with cologne technique.
I live in Rio, in the south zone (I am white and speak english) and have two problems with this video 1st: The mayor and governor aren't cleaning the city up ONLY because there is international attention, there has been an underlying sentiment among the elites that the south zone, barra and downtown were getting to many settlements and there was starting to be too much crime and poverty in those areas, which leaves me to point number 2: Gentrification against those settlements isn't necessairily a bad thing. There is great real estate next to beaches that could have nice, affluent buildings built, however these ILLEGAL settlers have created HUGE (there are some with 100 thousand+) that are centers of crime, drug trafficing and violence, therefore it doesn't seem that wrong that the poliece remove these people from inhabiting this land that many times were supposed to be natural reserves or simply isn't theirs. Just a thought from a real person from Rio for you to think about
Vox is always very bias. That's why I unsubscribed.
I knew there are always a different side of a story, thanks for sharing, there are no right or wrong opinions.
While I do understand your points but don't you think it would be more beneficial and ethical to spend money on these disenfranchised areas to make them safer, crime-free neighborhoods instead of just uprooting and evicting the poor that have lived there years? This way the poor can have a chance to move upwards in society as their dangerous crime-ridden communities have become safer commercial areas. It would only benefit the economy in the long run.
+Michael-Luca Natt like the drug trade isn t an operation of the elite and government there just as in the us. We ve studied it to death here and it goes to reason No 50 year drug war continues in failure without calculated organization. Then 100 years of economist have economies is shambles round the world without careful orchestration
Welcome to VOX, where bias outweighs truth.
Rio doesnt want the world to know about this. Well guess what Rio. Vox just let the world know.
The world knows for decades.
THE WORLD DOES KNOW FOR DECADES !! BUT DON'T REALLY CARE...
Brasil has always been like that, ever since europeans discovered our land everything that left to us were corruption, lies and racism, i live in recreio, that is the neighborhood beside recreio and the bus line is great for me, everything from living and moving around in public transports is great for me and thats upsetting because I'm the minority, and its only great for me because everything i need is around the area, these thing shown in the video, we learn this at school and not only the ways of taking poor people out were like that, there is one they use that is making reach people live where poor people live makes the place more expensive so that they are forced to get out, brazilian parents mostly want their children to get out of the country bcs there still has such a dense corruption in the government that we cant even predict when its going to be at least cleaner
This is basically having the craziest party known to man, and then trying to clean the whole mess in less than 10 minutes
As a brazilian person i am ashamed of my country, but i still believe we can fix it
by the way, the interview translations are impeccably accurate!
Great map in Mw2.
Lmao
My favorite :D
ahahahahahahaha!
+WeKnowTheTruth2012 awww
favela?
reminds me of that one simpsons episode about rio. They got a lot of backlash about it from the gov saying it's a "stereotype." Now i see they were mad that the cartoon was showing the real side. Not just the glamour side we always see on tv
lol exactly
that was a good episode! it really got amped up with angry birds and that movie just had to be named rio to make people think its worth the olympics
Actually,that episode was clearly exagerated. Simpsons showed just the bad part of the city
How did these South American cities get to this point?
+David Gooding Corruption ,I live here and so many people here are ashamed with situations that may happen and that are already happening ( like olympic village ).And the government is spending so much money,the money
which it was to be spent on hospitals , security , infrastructure (sorry if my english is bad).
What rio doesn't want the world to see
1/1000 of the world watched this video
Because of vox I am near to see everything without even going to places
Who got this 3 years later after the olympics in their recommendation
4 actually
4 years
5 years later*
The worst thing youll ever experience in your homeland is to be treated as an alien or worst a garbage to be disposed. And we know that it happens in almost every country. 💔
True...
Why is this in my recommended 4 years later
The same in India. 23000 crores spents on infrastructure, and ZERO on healthcare
Welcome to Hell de Janeiro, tourists. Don't get your hopes high.
Zesty - Yep.
Zesty - I don't know where I found it, though. I think I got it from Deviantart. I can send you the picture if you want. Just let me know.
Zesty - E-mail me: arnold.gamerr@gmail.com
forget RIO go to Bahia, São Paulo,Amazonas, Pantanal, Florianópolis i can go on but i think i made my point. any place is better than RIO in 2016
***** yea it sucks but i keep positive thinking some day things are gonna get better
This made me think of Michael Jackson's music video 'they don't really care about us' the one where he's running through Brazil.
yup
I think he was chasing after a young Brazilian boy in that video
That's exactly what I thought of
+Steven Paul
lmao allegedly, allegedly...

Smh, im glad I've realized this now. I never knew or was fully aware of their struggles until now.
This is why im subscribed to this channel
Well of course they put up a wall. If I had 10 seconds till my girlfriend came in my room I'd shove everything in my closet. Same thing here.
haha stuff the side chick in the closet
Yeah lol
haha, good point!
"10 seconds till my girlfriend came in my room" I completely misunderstood that at first.
You can't compare stuff laying around your room to poor people L0l. It's more like you hiding your poor brother when your girlfriend visits.
I’m glad Vox has been upgraded they’re content, instead of buzzfeed level content and journalism of, well... you know.
At least Vox reporting is journalism
This was 4 years ago
It was 4 year old video when you watched it
Brazil: We donot want the world to see it!
Vox: oh yeah , you really wanna do this!
Usually Brazilians are the first to comment once any video talking about Brazil comes up. But when it comes to this one, I haven't seen a single comment in Portuguese.
Most of them wrote their comments in english maybe
I want to see the "nicer" houses the government built for those people refusing to move.
No you may not see them. On the grounds of Brazilian national security.

+Rodrigo Tardelli omg wow! But the inside could be bad though
I'm sure they'll tear it down once the games are over
Brazil is not a Paradise...
but we advertise it as one so we can continue to get Foreigner money.
Brazil is slowling turning into a Giant Tourist Trap, while millions suffer.
If the government wasn't corrupt, sometimes acting to be better can actually make them better.
If they act like a tourist spot, they get more tourists, they get more money and eventually it becomes a tourist spot.
really? rio is actually one of my bucketlist I'm hoping I could be there someday tho.
this is so sad
@@dumbnoodle8327 ALEXA PLAY DESPACITO
does anybody hate tourists in brazil, just like now in paris?
Thing is, third world countries are so sick of being irrelevant and called poor, they turn to doing things like this to earn a shred of respect from the rest of the world
Rio:
Vox: lemme destroy this guys career
Actually, Rio dont need to no one do destroy it, it alredy does it self, (I understood the joke)
