How it feels

This short documentary from 1948 portrays the daily life of a Romani community in Sweden. It shows their traditions and routines, but some critics say it softens the harsh reality of their existence.

What happens

Uppbrott är en kortfilm som spelades in 1948. Filmen gjordes av filmaren Arne Sucksdorff, som bara något år tidigare som förste svensk belönats med en Oscar. Katarina Taikon, som medverkade i filmen, var bara sexton år när den spelades in. Filmens syfte var att visa hur romerna levde men vissa menar att den gav en romantiserad och förenklad bild av den hårda tillvaron som romerna hade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
