Qatar: The Corrupt And Deadly World Cup?

The Qatar World Cup is controversial – with allegations of corruption, human rights abuses and discrimination of women and LGBT+ people.

This video unpacks all the issues surrounding the World Cup – from backroom deals involving Fifa officials like Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini to explaining Qatar’s Kafala system which has exploited migrant workers and reportedly led to thousands of deaths in extreme heat. I dig deeper into the discrimination faced by women and LGBT+ people in Qatar – and consider how we should feel watching the football tournament.
