Kite Fight

In the crowded favelas of Rio de Janeiro, flying kites is more than a leisurely escape: It’s also a playful form of battle.

After futebol, kite fighting is one of Brazil’s most popular sports. In the crowded urban favelas, flying a kite (or pipa) is more than a leisurely escape from harsh living conditions; it’s also a form of battle, with the sky an arena. This Op-Doc video takes us into Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro’s largest favela, to meet its young pipa warriors and elder statesman.
