Inside Qatar's Labour Camps

From Afternoons, 1:34 pm on 18 May 2017

The Workers Cup goes inside Qatar's labour camps, where African and Asian migrants work under miserable conditions with little pay, to build the facilities for the football World Cup 2022. The documentary explores the lives of some of the poorest inhabitants, living in the richest country in the world. Lauren Wellbrock is a former Al Jazeera senior editor, and is the editor of the film. It premiered at the opening night of Sundance Film Festival 2017, and is showing in New Zealand as part of the Doc Edge Festival.
