Work A Lot
Overview
In Work A Lot, Memphis Depay steps off the pitch and into the daily lives of the people who keep São Paulo moving. The mini-documentary weaves interviews with Brazilian workers — from street vendors to truck drivers, from bakers to hairdressers — with behind-the-scenes moments of Depay’s own life in Brazil, spanning music, football, and visits to local communities. Stripped of glamour and filters, the film connects different realities through a shared truth: working hard isn’t a lifestyle choice, it’s survival. A raw, urban and honest portrait of daily struggle, belonging, and real life.
