Description
Summary:Verzio FF Submission In the ghetto of Nadezhda in the heart of Bulgaria, twenty thousand Roma live enclosed behind a concrete wall. Angel Tichaliev and other activists in a local NGO, the Roma Youth Organization, run a program to promote desegregation in schools to fight the outrageous discrimination that still afflicts the Roma today. Meanwhile, in Stefka Nikolova's soup bar, the ghetto's main square, the campaign for the municipal elections arouses passionate debate. In this fledgling democracy, the Roma have the right to vote, but all the candidates try to buy their support.
