Habitantes de barriadas se resisten a desahucios cerca del Parque Olimpico para Rio 2016

Vila Autódromo, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, is being demolished to make way for Olympic facilities. Despite the government's efforts, 150 families remain, resisting eviction and rejecting compensation offers. Recent conflicts have arisen during eviction attempts. After the Olympics, the area will be transformed into a commercial and residential zone.
