Synopsis:
With stunning images accompanied by the musical traditions of the Gypsies of Spain, India, and Romania, Latcho Drom was director Tony Gatif's first film. In this documentary, Gatif, who is himself of Gypsy origin, traces the difficult path a Gypsy tribe called the Rom took from India beginning over a thousand years ago. The most persecuted and impoverished of ethnic minorities in Eastern Europe, the Rom continue to share their sensual songs of loving and losing. Visually sumptuous and musically extraordinary, "Latch Drom travels on two passports that are recognized by every human heart, the joy of music and the inevitablity of suffering" - Toronto Globe
