Journey into the world of the Roma - a people who through the ages have been both romanticized and vilified in popular culture, politics and art, and who have endured centuries of intolerance and persecution.

Visiting 11 countries and interviewing dozens of Roma artists, historians, musicians and Holocaust survivors, this revealing film documents their culturally rich but often difficult lives, taking us back to ancient times and forward to the little-known story of Roma genocide at the hands of Nazis during World War II. As we watch the incredible story of the Roma unfold, both the people and their history come to life through the interplay of their evocative music and poetry, interwoven with true stories told by the survivors of the camps. As intolerance is on the rise in European politics, this remarkable film reminds us that ethnic minorities all too often fall prey to racism and genocide.

"Telling the gypsies' tale beyond the stereotype... 'A People Uncounted' explores the Roma through the centuries."- The New York Times

"An enlightening, globe-trotting documentary that brings this little-known story to light in powerful fashion." - The Hollywood Reporter

"Profoundly unsettling and deeply moving." - The Village Voice
