Contra A Copa: The Other Side of Brazil's World Cup (Vice News Documentary) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTW1ePYoV7Q&t=169s
The video was shot in the middle of the heat of the protests, and features shots from the protests themselves all over the country. It gives a really interesting look into the true nature of the protests, and gives a voice to the people who were actually participating in the protests. It maps the anger towards FIFA and Brazil over the high rate of spending, and points out the unifying effect this anger had between classes in Brazil. The majority of the film comes from Matias Maxx, and activist and filmmaker from Brazil. As stated in the video, Matias demonstrates a shocking lack of concern for his own well being, repeatedly getting close up shots of the violence. The video is not one sided though, as they speak to the armed forces that have been called in to deal with the unrest, showing the other perspective of the riots.
Ricardo Teixeira File (https://www.justice.gov/opa/file/796966/download)
This file is a court document from a lawsuit against Ricardo Teixeira and numerous others filed by the United States in 2015. This is part of a much larger FIFA corruption scandal, but it highlights Teixeira's role in several high profile cases of one being mishandled and bribes being taken/demanded.
