Photos from Rio 2016 opening ceremony in Brazil

The 2016 Summer Olympic Games opening ceremony at Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ended some hours ago and here are some lovely photos from the event. The ceremony was directed by Brazil’s most renowned filmmakers, Fernando Meirelles. Meirelles is best known for his 2002 movie, City of God, set in the 1980s and features the drug trade and violent crime in Rio’s impoverished Favela neighborhoods.
