An audience favorite at film festivals worldwide, this dynamic documentary is a gorgeous surround-sound celebration of misery and oppression turned into music. The film follows five internationally-acclaimed Gypsy bands on their North American tour. Their musical styles range from flamenco to brass band, Romanian violin to Indian folk.
