In 2004, 75 Roma people in de Romanian town of Miercurea Ciuc were forced to
leave their homes. The metal cabins put at their disposal in Primaverii Street
were said to be temporary. Six years later, however, the Roma still live in
these makeshift houses, under dire circumstances. This short documentary shows
street life through the innocent eyes of carefree boy Gyuri, whose favorite
pastime is playing in the street with his friends.
From the Amnesty International Slum Stories series.
