And with humor and soul in their voices, they celebrate the best in Gypsy culture and the diversity of the Romani people in an explosion of song and dance. As the film follows the amazing performances and behind-the-scenes action from the tour created by World Music Institute, we discover the real lives of these musicians. We visit Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and see what music brings to their lives. The tales of these characters are woven between their performances - allowing us to understand and celebrate Romani culture and the prejudice of their shared ancestry.

    (Johnny Depp is in this...?) Anyway, this was a nice documentary/musical about the lives of various Gypsy band members as they make their way to the Gypsy Caravan. It's well made and the music is amazing.

    This is a beautiful film, one of the best documentaries of this sub-genre (music, stranger in a strange land) - and though it spends a lot of time in the "comfort zone", it's always beautiful. Of course, the music and the subjects are very engaging, so it's easy to love.

    Very worthwhile documentary--serves even more as a sociological study than it does about music (outside the fact that music IS so integral to understanding Gypsies).
