FILM: Roma building Socialism?

Today’s Bulgarian Roma are still marginalised and lag far behind other Bulgarians in education and opportunity. But under Communism they were depicted as standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the country, enthusiastically working towards the perfect Socialist state. What was really happening? See this film.

This film was made by МY CENTURY https://mycentury.tv within the project “Countering disinformation: e-lessons from Bulgaria’s past” supported by the Active Citizens Fund Bulgaria

“The main goal of our project was to enrich the idea of what digital media can do to debunk established myths from the recent history of Bulgaria, the presentation of several, albeit unspoken “taboos” among a large part of society… It was extremely valuable for us while working on this project to get to know closely the activities of the “Roma Lom Foundation”, which works for the integration and social emancipation of disadvantaged communities, regardless of their ethnicity. We are glad that our work on this project met us with the team of the foundation, we plan to continue our cooperation with them.” – the team of My Century.
