Esperando B.
While the golden youth will buy tickets to the front row for Beyoncé for less than fifteen thousand, the poorer ones must be satisfied with an uncertain and endless front to the stadium, which will last for two whole months. The documentary by Paul Cesar Toledo and Abigail Spindel offers a spontaneous trip to the depths of Brazilian society, in which many people do not reach for the privileges and prosperity of the Brazilian boom.

Animal Politico
