Romale

Rudnany Roma settlement is segregated on an extremely dangerous mining site, which is contaminated by the toxic element mercury. The filmmaker follows several characters from the East Slovakian settlement as they attempt to fulfill their dreams and leave the community's cycle of poverty, imprisonment and death. However, throughout the course of the film, the chaotic and tragic life circumstances of the Roma community overwhelm even the characters' most modest dreams. Made over 5 years, Romale is a cutting edge document of individual dreams verses realities, and at the same time a poetic shout for equality for the Roma People.
