A People Uncounted: The Untold Story of the Roma (2011)

A People Uncounted tells the little-known Story or the Roma, commonly known as Gypsies, whose traditions have been both romanticized and vilified in popular culture. The Roma have endured centuries of intolerance and persecution in Europe, with an estimated 500,000 of their people murdered in the Holocaust. Using contemporary footage and archival images, some never before seen on film, A People Uncounted documents the colorful but difficult lives of the Roma and to ongoing discrimination. A diverse and far-flung people, the Roma have often lacked a central voice to record their history and political power to fully tell their story. As ethnic intolerance flares up across Europe, A People Uncounted sheds light on this unique culture while presenting the Roma’s tale an emblematic of the world’s legacy of racism and genocide.
