Although no single documentary could give a comprehensive account of the Roma’s culture and history, Yeger’s doc offers a sobering, often harrowing understanding of a people and the workings of genocide.

The true story of a romanticized and ostracized people, the Roma, whose genocide during the Holocaust has left them struggling to overcome their past. A documentary about the history and culture of the Romani people in Europe, and a warning about how their present situation mirrors the persecution that they have faced in the past.

The New York Times by Andy Webster
Much of this movie is composed of survivors who give harrowing accounts of their experiences, and their warnings about rising ethnic hatred in Europe should not be ignored. But those seeking to learn in depth about, say, the dialects and traditions of the Roma should look elsewhere.
This globe-trotting debut effort by helmer Aaron Yeger and his producing team offers a vivid mix of visual evidence, historical commentary and survivor testimonies. It’s less successful trying to integrate the struggles of today’s Roma, which merits a docu of its own.
What Yeger stirs up is profoundly unsettling and deeply moving.
