Win two tickets to see The Workers Cup By Steven Sandor Posted on April 24, 2018 Comments Off on Win two tickets to see The Workers Cup 0 1,981 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter For the readers in the Edmonton area (or those who will be in the Edmonton area in the first week of May), check out the screening of the soccer documentary, The Workers Cup. Sponsored by the Alberta Labour History Institute, this documentary will be screened at Metro Cinema at May 7 at 7 p.m. MT, as part of the Northwestfest — a festival that celebrates documentary filmmaking. Directed by Adam Sobel, the film looks at the workers who are building the venues for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. That World Cup has come under close scrutiny due to allegations of FIFA vote-fixing and, even more troubling, reports of inhumane working conditions for those building these new superstadiums in the desert. More than a million people are working to ready Qatar for the World Cup, and The Workers Cup looks at an initiative that saw 24 construction companies each asked to field teams for a special tournament.
