在这部里约之路传记/冒险/纪录片片中,當巴西正準備迎接全世界最大的運動盛事,佛塔勒札(Fortaleza)一群無家可歸的小孩獲選代表巴西參加2014年里約兒童街頭世界盃。《里約之路》記錄這群小孩如何籌備、參與這場可能改變他們一生的比賽,過程令人動容且發人深省。
In greater Fortaleza in the north of Brazil there were 12,777 children and adolescents recorded to be in child labor, living and working on the streets in 2013. 'Road to Rio' follows 9 of them who won the chance to play in the 2014 Street Child World Cup. The teens go on an inspiring, emotional and often amusing journey while preparing and playing in the tournament. This is more than a fascinating window into the lives of street kids; this is their chance to shine.
