Tony
Gatlif
is
a
man
with
a
mission.
For
35
years,
Gatlif
who (1)
is
half
Kabil
(Algerian),
half
Gypsy,
has
produced
(2

and
directed
(3

films
about
the

people

Europe

a
people
who(5)
he
says
are
often
misunderstood
(6

and
discriminated
(7

His
latest
film,
“Liberté”,
released
(8

this
year,
is
about
the
estimated
30,000
French
Roma
or
Gypsies
who
(9)
were
detained
(10

and
deported
(11

during
(12)
World
War
II.
Although
Gatlif
is
angry
about
President
Sarkozy’s
expulsions
and
the
dismantling
of
illegal
Roma
camps,
he
insists
that
what
is
happening
(13

today
can
in
no
way
be
compared
to
the
deportations
of
the
Second
World
War.
But
he
warns
(14

it
is
an
uncomfortable
reminder
of
what
happens
when
a

of
people
are
targeted

Valerie
Zabriskie
of
euronews
caught
up
with
the
film
director
in
Lyon.
“Tony
Gatlif,
you
are
firmly
against
the
dismantling
of
Roma
camps,
although
(16)
opinion
polls
suggest
60
percent
of
French
people
support
(17
support)
this
‘dismantling’
policy.
Does
that
surprise
you
(18
that/surprise/you)?”
Tony
Gatlif:
“There’s
nothing
I
can
do
about
that.
The
only
thing
I
can
do,
is
to
explain
to
all
those
who
(19)
don’t
understand
(20
not
understand)
this
problem
about
the
travelling
people
–
that’s
the
administrative
term.
They
are
the
Roma
people,
Gypsies
who
have
been
(21
be)
in
France
for
(22)
a
very,
very
long
time,
since
(23)
King
Francois
the
first,
these
Gypsies,
who
are
in
the
South
of
France
(24)
and
Spain
(25).
That’s
it.
And
these
people
who
(26)
have
been
(27
be)
here
in
Europe
(28)
since
(29)
the
Middle
Ages,
they
have
contributed
to
Europe,
to
its
(30
don’t
use
‘the’)
culture,
to
all
that
(31)
is
European(32).
And
now
today,
we
want
them
to
become
(33
want/they/become)
invisible.
We
don’t
want
them
to
exist
(34
want
not/they
exist).
But
how
can
a
people
of
10
million
just
stop
existing
all
of
a
sudden?
Because
European(35)
heads
of
state
decided
to
pass
laws
against
them
so
they
can’t
move
(travel)
anymore.
This
means
(36
mean).that
when
you
don’t
want
a
people
to
move(37
want
not/a
people/move),
you
confine
them.
This
is
what
they
did
(38
do)
during
(39)
the
war.”
euronews:
“But
now
that
Romania
and
Bulgaria
are
part
of
the
European
Union,
you
can’t
do
this
anymore.
They
have
the
right
to
travel
to
other
European
countries
but
if
after
three
months,
they
don’t
have
work
or
are
said
to
be
a
social
burden,
they
can
be
expelled.”
Tony
Gatlif:
“This
law
was
created
for
them
but
it’s
not
for
everyone.
Next
to
where
I
live
in
Paris,
there’s
a
German
homeless
person.
He’s
been
there
for
three
years.
Has
anyone
told
him
he
has
to
return
to
Germany?
He’s
homeless,
he’s
German,
he
told
me.
So
these
laws
are
designed
for
certain
people,
for
the
‘second
class’
citizens
and
then
there
are
laws
for
the
‘real’
citizens.
That’s
it.
And
so
I
believe
these
laws
were
created
solely
for
the

Gypsies
to
say,
“look
out,
if
we
open
Europe’s
borders
we’ll
have
all
the
Gypsies
who
will
want
to
leave.”
They
know
that’s
what
the
Gypsies
always
do.
So
they
say
we’ll
make
these
laws
to
block
them
and
send
them
home
after
three
months.”
euronews:
“But
don’t
you
think
with
what
happened
last
month
at
the
EU
summit,
with
President
Sarkozy
and
the
European
Commissioner,
shows
the
European
Commission
is
starting
to
pay
attention
to
what
we
call
the
Roma
problem
in
Europe?”
Tony
Gatlif:
“They
are
shocked,
I
think,
these
countries
are
shocked
because
Spain
doesn’t
do
this,
there
are
EU
countries
which
don’t
do
this.
Greece
doesn’t
either.
Greece
likes
its
Gypsies.
So
France,
all
of
a
sudden,
with
these
laws
they
introduced,
wants
to
uproot
these
people,
these
Roma
who
have
been
here
for
I
don’t
know
how
long,
maybe
three
or
four
years.
And
they
round
them
up
and
expel
them
from
their
shacks,
from
their
cardboard
houses,
in
the
woods,
under
the
bridges,
by
the
motorways.
And
they
move
them
out
in
numbers,
en
masse.
And
this
reminds
us
of
a
trauma.
There
are
children
who
are
half-­‐naked,
in
their
mothers’
arms.
There
is
panic
everywhere.
They
don’t
have
time
to
take
their
belongings.
It’s
panic.
Of
course
it
isn’t
as
bad
as
the
round-­‐ups,
the
(World
War
II
deportations
of
1940
but
it’s
still,
let’s
say,
the
thin
end
of
the
wedge.”
euronews:
“People
complain
about
seeing
the
Roma,
the
Gypsies
with
their
big
caravans,
their
beautiful
cars
and
at
the
same
time
they
portray
themselves
as
victims,
the
women
begging
on
the
streets
with
their
babies…”
Tony
Gatlif:
“Here
at
the
train
station
in
Lyon
when
I
arrived,
there
was
a
woman
who
stopped
me
at
the
station.
She
had
blue
eyes,
didn’t
look
at
all
like
a
foreigner.
She
was
French
and
she
asked
me
for
money
for
her
children.
She
put
her
misery
right
in
front
of
me
because
she
was
poor
and
miserable
and
I
didn’t
cover
my
eyes.
But
that
the
Gypsies
beg,
that
bothers
everyone.
Why
does
that
bother
everyone?
Because
it
reminds
them
of
their
own
insecurity?
Maybe
they
feel
they’re
being
harassed?
But
I
feel
harassed
as
well
by
the
homeless.
But
it’s
normal
that
I’m
harassed.
That
would
be
the
last
straw,
that
they
just
die
in
front
of
us
without
asking
for
anything.
But
this
is
what
the
new
world
is
like
today.
The
modern
world.”
euronews:
“But
with
all
the
media
coverage
of
the
expulsions
this
summer,
maybe
you
are,
perhaps
not
optimistic,
but
don’t
you
hope
there
is
now
more
pressure
on
Europe’s
heads
of
state
to
address
this
problem
which
is
European?”
Tony
Gatlif:
“I’m
not
scared
of
the
European
heads
of
state.
I’m
not
scared
of
those
who
govern
Europe.
I
am
scared
of
the
European
people.
Once
a
government
like
France
–
which
is
a
country
all
of
Europe
looked
up
to
during
the
communist
era
because
it
was
the
country
of
human
rights
–
once
France,
the
country
of
human
rights,
starts
pointing
its
finger
at
a
people
who
are
fragile,
I’m
worried
this
will
trigger
a
chain
reaction.
I’m
worried
that
people
in
other
countries
will
say
we
can
do
the
same
thing
because
these
Roma
aren’t
good.
That’s
what
the
French
government
said,
the
French
president
said,
well,
he
didn’t
say
they
weren’t
good,
but
he
said
they
were
problematic.
So
from
that
point
of
view,
in
countries
such
as
Romania,
or
Bulgaria
or
Hungary
and
elsewhere,
they
can
also
say,
‘Yes
we
have
a
problem
with
these
people
(the
Roma).’”
euronews:
“There
is
a
summit
this
month
in
Bucharest
on
the
integration
of
the
Roma
people
in
Europe.
What
are
you
expecting
will
come
out
of
this
type
of
summit?
What
are
you
hoping
for?”
Tony
Gatlif:
“That
they
just
leave
these
people
alone.
These
Roma
didn’t
ask
for
anything.
They’ve
never
made
wars,
never
armed
themselves,
never
used
bombs.
These
people
just
want
to
live.
So
let’s
just
let
them
live
and
find
the
means
to
help
them
do
that,
like
everyone
else
in
Europe.
And
that
we
stop
sticking
labels
on
their
backs,
or
creating
laws
that
go
against
the
way
they
live.”
