- Purchase: www.der.org/films/opre-roma.html This film celebrates the culture and struggle of the Gypsy. There is a new generation of Roma who claim their Gypsy roots with pride, while fighting the myths that caused their parents to live in fear. They call themselves by their rightful name, the Roma. The Roma people have suffered almost a thousand years of persecution - from European Slavery to the Holocaust - yet they have survived as a unique global culture. The film explores the music and culture borne out of centuries of exile. Opre Roma invites you to a wedding and to an evening of flamenco dance, with songs from Turkey, Romania, Spain, the Czech Republic and Slovakia that relate a shared experience telling the story of what it means to be Roma.

Nice video. I am a Rom from Slovakia living in Ireland I never tell anyone that I am Rom because they will start to hate me straight away. Or they wouldn't know what a rom or romany is.
"Latcho Drom" is a great movie about the Rroma - culture, dancing, etc. It also sheds light on the horrific discrimination they go up against.
I'm an indian and I have a soft corner for these people, felt connected with them :)
I am a first-generation Canadian of Romanichal / Romanisæl parentage and I was raised in this culture. There will always be bad apples in any group, but most of us were taught not to steal, not to lie, to work hard and respect our elders. True, we distrusted authority, especially the government, and we kept to ourselves and moved around a lot, but we were not bad people...just different.
I read recently books based on the Roma Gypsies and I was very fasinated by the culture of these human beings. I'm looking forward to learning more about these people as well as their culture. It is sad that not alot of people are aware of such a beautiful souls.
Roma is part of my ancestry (Bukovina area) and people often ask me about my heritage. They're always confusing me for Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Lebanese, Egyptian or even Pakistani. I've only ever met a couple other Canadian Romas so it's nice to find a video on it. And to all the people who don't think much of the Roma people-I just have to say that we don't always fit your nasty stereotypes. I, myself have multiple University degrees and I'm in Grad. School with two jobs.
Such beautiful people love their music and culture!
"we've been passing long enough." I know exactly what that means and how that feels.
Opre Roma! Kalderash pride here :) I am proud to be a Roma Woman.
The wonderful human pride of the roma, gypsies or/ and people of this culture are very much alive to me in this video. I am so happy you made it and it is available.
Colorful, proud and wonderful! What is there to debate?
Don't let go over the culture!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE PLEASE KNOW YOU ALL ARE LOVED BY VERY MANY AND ITS GETTING BETTER I LOVE YOU ALL IT HURTS MY HEART TO KNOW HOW BAD WE ALL HAVE BEEN TREATED,BUT YOU KNOW ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE AND WE ARE ALL...........VERY STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's nice!
I rented this video from my university library. It was very good and very informative. You get both perspective and why many still view it as something to hide.
Why are the Sinti people which belong to the Romani are integrated in western europe. They are integrated because western europe today is not so racistic as eastern europe. I am a gipsy and i am proud of my heritage. I dont steal, i have school education and i'm working as wholesaler. Roma had a bad past in europe. It can be compared with afro american history. Romani people were slaves in Romania and Moldavia but today racistic hungarians romanians and slavic people dont want to know history.
Gypsy language called Romani cib (cib from Hindi gib) tongue,is a North west Indian dialect, is a mixed of Hindi, Rajastani, Punjabi,and Gujarati. I am translate some words through Italian Romani cib.
Day-Dives = Gujarati Divas
Night-Rat= Hindi Rat
Song- Ghili= Gita
What-Sù=Gujarati Shu
Girl-Chiauri=Rajastani Cior
Close- Pand= Hindi Band
Ask-Puch=Hindi Puchàna
The recent documentary film, "Never Come Back," about the Roma refugees who have arrived in Canada since the mid 1990s, and the dire situation in Central Europe from which they fled, is now available on CZcams. Please search by using the name of the film, plus the keywords Nerenberg and Roma.
I've never been so fascinated by a group of people as the Roma gypsies.
im a gypsy and im proud
I find this playing guitar and using it as drum amusing.
wonderful video , wonderful music, wonderful people!! People need to know and understand more about the Roma culture and forget the stereotyping. I would love to see more.
very informative!
The coolest, most fringe ethnic group. So cool
OMG at 03:18 they are singing in turkish language. I cant believe it. Those people really have so many beauties from so different cultures. A roma in Canada,and singing in turkish :):) Life is really interesting.
They sing;
ille de roman olsun,
ister camurdan olsun,
O da Allah kuludur,
Her kim olursa olsun...

well i m a roma my self i live in london england but still skared to tell anybodi
that i m a roma i m a gypsy but i m obligated to be a roma bless
What year did the Roma come to the USA?
Opre Rroma is a syntactic mistake: it's a litteral translation from the German „Zigeuner über alles" (Rroma above everything), the correct formula would be „Ušten Rroma". And so is Rromano kali (rromano kalo)...
Sinti tribe - Sindhi (india/pakistan)
Kaali tribe - In Hindi Kaali means black, same as romani
cool report :)
i love you roma
A lovely people :)
I always thought they were from Egypt or the lost tribes of Israel .surprised to find out the roma came out of west india during the time of the crusades.
I got the biggest gypsy family in Canada and I never heard of these people
one God loves your all - Thamlian
god bles you romale we like you lithuania roma
What are doing in my country ? Life is difficult she said, if you come in Canada is to become Canadian, not Gypsies in Canada
@obiwanobiwan13 Gyspy is fine :) I don't mind and I've never met another Rom who did mind :)
@obiwanobiwan13 Gypsy is just the word they call themselve to Gaje (non-Roma people). They are Roma to each other.
Sir Michael Caine. Sir Charles Chaplin and Bob Hoskins are/were all Romanichal.
@poligon333 I pay bills and work and am Roma so, that isn't true.
Me but kamav ande Canada !!!
@dawidko80 Roma aren't descended from Egyptians.
@saracidal3303 I can tell you why.. The Westernised roma are totally different to the Eastern roma. Just like Americans are nothing like Russians. Hypothetical explaination of course. As you can see these Roma have a spanish influence clearly when travelling from the East to the West and then to England and finally Canada they have become very culturally diverse and are nothing like Eastern european "Roma or Gypsies"
romachal gypsies are mixed gypsies they have more English dna and 1 percent roma cause of the mixing that happened.
THANK YOU! THOUGH PLEASE DON'T USE THE G-WORD. I'm presumably full-blooded Roma. I was born in Hungary and only occasionally have relatively light skin do to health issues and the fact that my people were enslaved and raped mostly be Persians and Romanians, but these people are more White than anything. And the preferred umbrella term is Romani/y, not "Gypsy". I actually suffered as an infant in Hungary and my fraternal twin brother and I had to adopted by White Americans just to survive because according to the government, we were 100% Roma, even though partial Roma and Romani are still persecuted... I still suffer because not only am I Roma, I look it too. My twin and I are like only 2 of 6 legal international Roma adoptions in the past 20 years. Most Iberian Kale, Sinti and other groups, especially the Whiter-ones like the Romachical, are way better off and don't have to put their kids up for adoption for have them forcibly removed by the state for their own protection. I'm actually singled out for looking different and have to deal with racist international students who immediately peg me for a "gintao" or "zingaro". My brother and I even face racism when we visit Europe with our White family. I constantly have to explain to Americans that I'm not Arab, Jewish or Mexican, but I do lie and tell the that I'm Italian. When I tell White Hungarians that I'm Hungarian they call me a liar. But, this woman does know her stuff even though she is Romanichal and not Roma... She's not lying to people when she says' she's "British". She has mostly British DNA.
Racial purity is much more important to gypsies than it is to you. Also they have the sabor and tribes and traditions, to marry someone from outside the tribe makes the girl an outcast so i doubt it will happen for you. Also Serbs or Croats? The croats were the ones with Usase... couldn't care less , but I do wonder if you were there at all...
A man cannot be a Romano Kali, thats a grammatical mistake, im not criticising Juliette cos she is Romanichal and they dont speak Romani with grammar but a man is a Romano Kalo or a Kalo Rom, one man is not a Roma because Roma means Gypsies in the masculine
that guy lolo sings like the gypsy kings
@obiwanobiwan13 I am not offended by it but I know so are!
'i dont think "gypsy" is derogatory' um hey buddy, how many of us do u know? none, know why? because ppl like u call us "gypsies" We're a family oriented ppl, and we stay that way, thats why ppl say bad things about us, they don't understand us, we're not like you and we don't wanna be. Im kalderash, and were more cultured then the rummachel, not that were better, b/c WE'RE ALL DIFFERENT PPL, we make our own choices, and do the best w/ them, please don't judge what u dont understand ppl.
It's about time people hear about us, and discard the ignorant myths. Opre Roma!
no they moved out of india 800-1000 years ago not 25000
Lets hope it will never happen to us again
con jeanel te chitil cadau scriso si iek cheacho rom...te aven bahtale romale!
why hide what youre roots? Hadiqa Kiyani never hides! watch>>"Hadiqa Kiyani-Janan"
Julia is a very attractive lady.
gypsies who are integrated in their host society, speak the language and have embraced the local culture are okay. unfortunately thats a small minority. i lived in the north-east of czech republic from the age of 2-17 and gypsies were all around, once i even got mugged by them.
the're a different Roma
what r u talking about? u have no clue what ur talking about these r roma ppl... we r all diffrent looking depend where u r from some r dark some r white so on
More more educational than the "Big Fat Gypsy" nonsense! God bless.
fascinating culture
what r u saying toronto gypsie r class
Julia is a quite beautiful woman..
Roma/Gypsy people in eastern Europe are really discriminated against in every social area because they have another culture, type of skin and education. They had no access to education for centuries because of their ethnicity/color of skin and if they could go to school they were really pushed back/discriminated and the Roma student should work really hard.
The beginning of the racism began in Germany in world war II and then was extended in all Europe, in the communist regime. First of all, Hitler tried to kill all of the Roma. The following regime in Germany and Europe gives them no access to education to the Roma. The question is how is it possible that a child will have a job and money to survive without education in the future? Is not! That's why a lot of them are trying to survive. It is sad that Canada does not go back in history to see what the USA was doing with the African American citizens when they were free of slavery. The American counselors of the USA were giving them counseling support school, work, and social life.
Roma people want a better future in Canada for their children.
It is not easy to be discriminated in kindergarten, school and then at work to be fired when your boss finds out that you are a Roma!
Sad that people, immigrants from Canada discriminated Roma people cause they should remember that they or their parents, grandparents or themselves were also refugees.
Many Romanians live on the brink of survival. Their rights are not respected and they are not protected by the governing. For more details and information, please follow the link to see a reportage about Roma Romanians in Romanian 2019.: czcams.com/video/evKw1QhIPdo/video.html
Milk and water and kissing and many of the numbers are also the same
@highgrade707 I am just as civilized as you and I am Romanian Roma
Julia Lovell is hot
@MrUtilizatorus honestly i agree im romanian too and i went to romania last summer to visit my family and a gypsy group stole my aunts purse
I know there's something to 'blood,' but I think there's also something to 'spirit.' It's hard for me being 'Caucasian,' because I just fall into the background. It seems these days that (you're) not 'somebody' if you're not Jewish or some 'ethnic' background. Personally, I'd love to live more freely without governmental laws. So far the only place I feel I 'belong' is of some Rainbow gathering of some place or another. There, freaks are accepted, but really, all are accepted.
Hello friend, Yes it is derogitory but it is like, so much has hapend, so many years, some of our own do not even know it is like the N word. There are some who do but do not take it so seriously as there are so much other to be strong in telling about. Where I grew up among thousands of Rromani, we call our selves Rromani, Roma, and it is pronounced "Ghoma or Ghomania". God bless
i read dat romanis r of indian origin and wer hindus who wer taken as slaves by mahmud of ghazni,since they r of indian origin india should interfere and hep them
I wonder how far back the Roma want to discover their ancestors. I wonder if any of them want to trace themselves back to India?
WTF..
holy Romani umpire is beafore bc we left Indija? ha haha
Leave them in Canada,when you defend them!;)
