Ever witness something that touched you so deeply it invades your sleep?
Walking the streets of a Roma (gypsy) ghetto is such an experience. Your mind reels as you attempt to fit this world into your context. The ramshackle homes, the muddy streets, the kids in third-hand clothes, all trapped in the overwhelming grip of poverty. You start to ask…
- Why does anyone live in such a place?
- How can they survive in these conditions?
- Why are they here?
- Why doesn’t somebody do something?
I still remember my first exposure to the world of the Serbian Roma people. Those same questions ran through my brain as I stood in the middle of a ghetto locally referred to as “The Big Pit”. This video tells the story far better than any words I can offer. I will never unsee this…ever.
The vision of that place started to haunt me, as did that last question… Why doesn’t somebody do something?
