Starting Over in the UK: Romanian Gypsies in Britain

Video Description

What does it really take to start a new life in the UK? In the first episode of The Romanians Are Coming, we meet Alex, who sleeps rough in a car park near London’s Victoria Station while helping fellow Romanians adjust to life in the city. We also follow Stefan and Sandu, two Roma gypsies facing an uphill battle as they try to settle in the UK—made even harder by language barriers and limited job opportunities. This powerful documentary offers an intimate look at the hopes, hardships, and realities facing new arrivals trying to build a better future far from home.
