“Coming and Going” DVD Release
The Film in which members of the Clear Water Gypsies featured which was made in the south of France last year (2008) is now available.
COMING AND GOING
“Coming and Going” filmed in and around the Gypsy, Roma and Travellers History Month, takes a broad view of Gypsy history, starting in India and following the migrations forward through history to today.
The centuries of hardship and persecution have forged and iron resolve to protect and celebrate the culture through music, story telling, art and song.
We move from Appleby fair to Sainte Marie de la Mer, from the battle fields of WWI to the tragic event of the holocaust, from the Houses of Parliament to Bramsdean Common, from a wedding to a funeral.
“Coming and Going” features interviews with Gypsies, Roma and Travellers as well as Gypsy historian Janet Keet-Black, Arthur Ivatts OBE, Lord Avebury, Shirley Collins MBE, Lord Adonis and Gypsy story teller Richard O’Neil
