Film Screening in Toronto on Wednesday May 30th - Romano Drom (Roma Road)

[Roma Virtual Network]

May 30th from 6-9 pm at the TIFF bell lightbox

Kristyna Balaban, the filmmaker / Ryerson University film student, has been working closely to help support the Roma Community Centre, for the past year. We support her film and hope that you will, too.

The Film

Romano Drom (Roma Road): A Story of Youth is a look at the lives of four Roma youth living in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Michal, Tomas, Vincent, and Michaela share deeply personal stories about their experiences, passions, and opinions, and by doing so they examine the at times painful political and social realities of being a Roma youth growing up in post-communist Czech Republic and Slovakia. These intimate reflections reveal the important issues and obstacles they deal with daily, such as unemployment, racism, segregation, and access to education.

At a time when mainstream media largely portrays Roma youth as criminal and uneducated, these individuals challenge the negative and simplistic stereotypes imposed on them by being active in their communities to bring about positive social change. This film is an intense chronicle of Roma youth that celebrates and supports their complex histories and inspiring work.
