With all they hype around Brazil with this year’s Olympics I can’t help but to think about the Olympics of 1936, also known as Hitler’s Olympics. Although we’ve come quite far from that we still continue to have these games in beautiful, exotic and historic destinations without getting into what’s really going on in those places. This documentary by my homegirl Falani is helping shed light on the Favelas of Brazil and more importantly what one brave young woman is doing to change the norms around her. GET INTO IT AND DONATE! We need more stories like this!
