This documentary celebrates the vibrant culture and tenacious struggle of the Canadian Gypsy and introduces a new generation of Roma who claim their Gypsy roots with pride, while fighting the myths that caused their parents to live in fear. They call themselves by their rightful name, the Roma. Since the Gypsy people fled India in the 11th century,  they have suffered almost a thousand years of persecution – from European slavery to the Holocaust – yet they have survived as a unique global culture. Almost 80,000 Roma call Canada home. (National Film Board description)
