Streetkids United II – the Girls from Rio

In the summer of 2014, Brazil hosted the FIFA World Cup. But as the sport's most glittering spectacle was played, another more humble tournament was already staged in the Cidade Maravilhosa - the second-ever Street Child World Cup. With over 100 million children living on the streets in the world, they are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse of their civil & economic rights. This film showcases the life-changing experience for a group of girls from the favelas in Rio de Janeiro, the Favela Street Girls, who are chosen to represent Brazil during the Street Child World Cup 2014.
