POV

The Workers Cup - Housing

We learn that foreign workers outnumber Qataris and that those who choose to live outside of company camps live in squalor. We also see life in company housing and hear the story of a man who was stabbed by his roommate because his roommate believed that the only way the company would let him leave Qatar was if they believed he was mentally unfit.
