Siamo Tutti Rom - A story about romanian and romani immigrants in Italy

Short Synopsis: “Siamo Tutti Rom” is a short documentary about Romanian and Romani immigrants in Rome. It depicts the journeys of two Romanian women: one is the three hour journey that Marian, a Romani, endures everyday in order to take her children to school; the other is a migratory journey from Romania to Italy that Elena, a non-Romani, made in search of a brighter future. The plight of these two women is set against a backdrop of talking heads from social workers, anthropologists and university professors. PLEASE NOTE: One protagonist is a Romanian immigrant, the other is a Romani (gypsy) from Romania; this film is in no way implying that Romanians and Romani are the same, nor is it implying that all inhabitants of Rome are Romani. It is simply making a statement that Romani are suffering from a bad reputation, which has also ignorantly been passed onto Romanian immigrants who are not Romani. Also, the title "Siamo Tutti Rom" (We are all Romani) is a play on words. The word Rom refers to gypsies however the original meaning of the word in the Romani language is 'man'. Therefore, despite all the labels, we must not forget that "We are all man/human". Behind the camera: Arabella, Josh and Natassa first met whilst studying Italian at the University of Bath. As part of their degree they spent time studying at La Sapienza University in Rome, and whilst there, they volunteered as teaching assistants at ARPJ’s Tetto: a school for Romani children excluded from the mainstream education system. After three months in the city, inspired and compelled, they combined their shared interest in migration and documentary cinema to create “Siamo Tutti Rom”.
