A People Uncounted

The Roma have endured centuries of intolerance in Europe and faced annihilation during the Nazis’ Final Solution – an estimated 500,000 were murdered in the Holocaust – but they’ve largely been relegated to a footnote in history. “A People Uncounted” exposes the tragedy of Europe’s largest minority group, recounting the story of the Roma, commonly referred to as Gypsies, a people who have been both romanticized and vilified in popular culture. “A People Uncounted” documents their colorful but difficult lives, including their often violent racial persecution in today’s Europe. Filmed in 11 countries and featuring dozens of Roma – including Holocaust survivors, historians, activists, and musicians – “A People Uncounted” brings the Romani history to life through the rich interplay of their poetry, music, and compelling firsthand accounts.
