The Road

Synopsis

Gypsies and Travellers: happy people in painted wagons, touring the rural lanes of Britain. Or are they? The Road explores perceptions of traditional travelling life versus the reality of being a Gypsy in Britain today, using a montage of images and voices to create a picture of a close and closed society.
