LATCHO DROM (Safe Journey) captures the resilient perseverance of the Gypsies through years of persecution and poverty. From the barren desert landscapes of the Rajathan to France, LATCHO DROM chronicles the nomadic thousand-year history of the Rom people. These traveling musicians share the sheer joy of life that invigorated their ancestors. Featuring musicians from India, Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, France and Spain LATCHO DROM is a visual and musical anthology of this misunderstood and oppressed culture.
