Description: The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been described as the most controversial World Cup of all time. Critics of Qatar hosting the tournament point to the country's human rights violations, the treatment of migrant workers, and to the FIFA corruption involved in their winning bid, meanwhile supporters claim that Qatar has reformed and that this World Cup presents a unique opportunity in the region. In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of those claims and counter-claims, the reality of Qatar's bid, and the argument over whether the upcoming World Cup should ever have been allowed to happen.
