About the project
The World Cup 2014 is the overall stage that
serves as the backdrop for our project. Brazil
has won the most World Cups, and houses
huge national pride for both their team
and the game.
Having so much pride for a sport that is loved
by so many can sometimes overshadow other
cultural facets that are present in such a
diverse nation.
By taking a journey on a path less traveled, the
story of the way Brazil lives beyond the stadium
walls will be brought to life with several
personal stories and interactions across the
northeast told through photos and video.
