Fun and touching documentary about several Rom bands who join for a tour across North America. Wonderful music, wonderful people who (sometimes) don't speak each other's languages, who have come from different corners of the globe, all finding an understanding of one another (sometimes more than other times) through their music and the roots of the Romani people.
I loved visiting the home towns of each band. I loved how all families, no matter how big or small or well off or poor, whether they drive an old car or a horse and buggy, live in high-rise apartments, shacks in small rural towns, or large cities, all love their children. All want their kids to be happy. All cherish their next generation. This was so touching to me that it, more than the sharing thread of struggle and persecution that the different cultures found common ground on, this made me aware of how the same we all are.
