When the Road Bends: Tales of a Gypsy Caravan
USA 2006  |  110 mins  |  PG

Five Romani musical troupes from four countries (Romania, Spain, India and Macedonia) embark on a 'Gypsy Caravan Tour' of North America in 2001. Combining on-stage performances with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews, Jasmine Dellal's lively and uplifting documentary challenges common perceptions of Romani culture and music and celebrates its diversity and richness. Co-photographed by legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles and featuring a memorable performance from Macedonian 'Queen of the Gypsies' Esma Redzepova, it's the music that's the star here, and it shines.
