About Burden of the Gypsies
A film about the life of the Roma people, the most closed ethnic group today. Influential thieves' clans, barons and drug lords, early marriages, artists on stage and in life, anti-Roma riots in Europe and Roma riots in Russia - the whole truth about the problems, sorrows and joys of the modern Roma community.
Directed by Boris Sobolev, Burden of the Gypsies leans on a strong ensemble — Boris Sobolev, Boris Sankin, Nadezhda Demeter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2016.
