HITC Sevens's video: The Incredible True Story Behind The Lonely Fan Viral Photograph

Many people who are active online will be familiar with the 'lonely fan' meme that went viral in 2012, showing a sad looking FC Santa Cruz fan witnessing his team lose 4-1 to Gremio. Eight years later, another image of this fan went viral side-by-side with the first photograph, showing him sat in the stands alongside a trophy, now serving as the club's president. I decided I wanted to find out who was this man, this club, and what was the true story within Brazilian football that had created these two images - and that's exactly what I've done. So in this short documentary, HITC Sevens tells the tale of FC Santa Cruz, Tiago Rech, and one of Brazil's greatest recent underdog stories.
