Roma-Tag-Festival 2026 - Film: Der lange Weg der Sinti und Roma

In the organizer's words:

THE LONG JOURNEY OF THE SINTI AND ROMA
Director: Adrian Oeser, D 2022, 45 min.
It was not until 1982 that the Nazi mass murder of the Sinti and Roma was recognized as genocide. The film traces the history of Germany's largest national minority through the lives of individuals. Individual stories and archive material that has rarely been shown before take us back to a time when Sinti and Roma were discriminated against and when they finally fought back. The film tells the emotional and impressive story of Germany's largest national minority through personal life stories and reveals previously untold perspectives. It is a film about history that has not been completed, about a time that continues to have an impact today. A film about yesterday, for today.
