| Brief narrative |
For years, a small community in the Brazilian city of Rio has been fighting against eviction to make way for next year’s Olympics.
Most of the residents of Vila Autódromo have gradually taken up on government offers and already left the community, but some still resist.
Now Rio’s city hall is evicting half of the remaining residents.
