Tony Gatlif is a French film director who has produced and directed films about the Roma people in Europe for 35 years. He is critical of recent policies in France that have led to the dismantling of illegal Roma camps and mass deportations of Roma people. While he acknowledges the deportations are not as severe as those during World War II, he warns that targeting an entire race can lead down a dangerous path. Gatlif hopes that European leaders will address the problems facing Roma people in a way that respects their right to live freely without discrimination.
