| Summary: | Duration: 00:01:12
The film focuses on the discrimination against Roma minority mainly in Romania and Italy. Among the addressed cases is a Romanian mayor's attempt to move local Roma into an abandoned chicken farm, encircled with barbed wire and patrolled by guards with dogs. A Roma family gathers in a Transylvanian graveyard to mourn the death of 3 brothers murdered in an earlier pogrom that also saw the destruction of 21 of their houses. In a squalid trailer camp ten kilometers from Vatican City, a young Roma couple that fled persecution in Romania is trying to build a new life. Instead they end up begging to feed their children. Their nightmare worsens when the mayor of Rome decides to bulldoze the camp to the ground. Activists of Roma rights give interviews on the problems of human rights violation against Roma and roots of the discrimination. |
