The Workers Cup Film

"A superbly moving documentary...that should really be shown to every team going to Qatar in November." A great write up in today's @Independent by @MiguelDelaney independent.co.uk/sport/football…

Thinking about the security of the people who have little or no safety net working in #Doha. As well as all the people who have escaped war zones to find peace in Qatar. Workers man, clean, build, protect every part of #Qatar including the airbases and other military spaces.

“@FIFAWorldCup today announced…with #Qatar… $50m Legacy Fund for the #Qatar2022 World Cup. The fund DOES NOT include any compensation for affected workers, though it provides some funding…to protect workers from heat stress in the future.” @amnesty amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Can #kafala be meaningfully reformed? @openDemocracy by Vani Saraswathi opendemocracy.net/en/beyond-traf…

“I had lost both my parents before I turned 10; my cousins and uncle were my family. I needed to help them... I hedged all my bets on a Gulf job.” Powerful testimony from a man building his life in #qatar @MigrantRights #workerrights migrant-rights.org/2024/09/dreams…

“The hope in these stories usually comes from people helping one another (in the face of still other people’s hostility or indifference).” Thank you @AltaJournal for the recognition. altaonline.com/california-boo…

nytimes.com/athletic/55455… great work by @EquidemOrg and @nytimes “Newcastle United sponsor Noon and shocking allegations of worker mistreatment” @NUFC #saudi is the likely hosts of the @FIFAWorldCup in 2024. #football #soccer #humanrights

A powerful interactive about the lives of domestic workers by the extraordinary team @MigrantRights migrant-rights.org/infographics/i…

We are big supporters of women’s football here @FIFAWWC but also of the #workers who make it all possible. We wish this was not so predictable (by @EquidemOrg ) equidem.org/blogs/global-f…

Among such extraordinary films! Thank you @RottenTomatoes editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-soc… Number 18….
