ROMA ON PAR - a first look at a documentary that is very dear to us.
“This uniform taught me that, in the face of fire, we are all equal - because when someone is in danger, they don’t ask whether I’m Roma.” - Eduard
🇪🇺 The Roma Unit of the European Commission invited us to create a film that challenges stereotypes and shifts the narrative. Roma communities still face the stigma that they don’t contribute to society…
We spent time with Eduard (Romania), Victoria (Bulgaria) and Stanislava (Slovakia). They all carry experiences of exclusion, but each of them has found their own way through it and is now excelling in what they do, contributing in meaningful ways.
Through their different backgrounds, they reflect on what equality and belonging mean to them.
We tried to show both sides of their journeys. The difficult parts. And the closeness within Roma communities. People looking out for each other. That’s what keeps them going. And what pushes them to give back.
Filming this meant a lot to us. We’re really grateful to Victoria, Stanislava and Eduard - as well as their families and friends - for trusting us with their stories.
Love to our crew who put their heart into this.
