Event Details

About the film: After years of trying to help his fellow Roma (Gypsy) people, Safet Tairov has finally convinced a group of Germans to donate humanitarian goods and build a kindergarten. But many obstacles block Safet's progress in his small Eastern European village: the mayor won't speak to him; the non-Roma citizens are hurt that foreigners are only helping minorities; Safet's organization has little community support and no resources; dealing with Westerners is culturally challenging. Ultimately, the challenges prove victorious. 

 Directed by Helder Mira. Produced by Matt Orefice and Paul A. McDonald, based on Orefice's Peace Corps experience in the Republic of Macedonia.

Director will be on hand for discussion
