New film tells about the Roma or 'gypsies' Canada wants to keep out
They call them "gypsies," "gitanes," "tziganes," "ciganes," "nomadi" -- and sometimes such nasty epithets as thieves, pickpockets, vagrants and "inadaptables" (a favourite term in the Czech Republic).
Film the idea of a child of Jewish Holocaust survivors
Today, there are an estimated 8 to 12 million Roma in Europe, and as Malcolm Hamilton and I say in the opening line of our new film Never Come Back: "Everywhere, they are considered a problem!"
We made that film over a period of more than a year, starting in the spring of 2010.
It was the brainchild of Jack Jedwab, President of the Association for Canadian Studies.
The idea came to Jack while he was on a Governor General's trip to central Europe in 2008 that included the Roma Museum in Brno, Czech Republic.
