More Details

Summary:

Ghent is home to an estimated 7000 Roma. Local media often portray Roma as poor and uneducated, and the initiatives that are set up in Ghent to promote Roma culture are not often mentioned. This film is the result of an anthropological fieldwork in Ghent and explores how three 'institutes' that deal with people of the Roma community in Ghent negotiate about their position. At the Christian charity organization 'VZW De Tinten', the first 'institute', we see in what position many Roma in Ghent live. The second 'institute' are the Roma self-organizations, led by chairmen Tibor Moco and Martin Balogh, who call themselves Roma activists. They are the main characters in this film in which the mediator-roles these men play between the Roma and the non-Roma society will be explored. For example in how they deal with the city's policy (makers), the third 'institute', in negotiating about their position in the City of Ghent.
