Romano Drom- A Story of Youth

Romano Drom: A Story of Youth is a documentary film that looks at the lives of four Roma youth living in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Through interviews and personal stories the youth examine the at times painful political and social realities of what it means to be a Roma youth growing up in post-communist Czech Republic and Slovakia. This film is an attempt at opening up dialogue around important issues like racism and discrimination while celebrating the positive impact the youth have in their own communities.
