Lotta Adolfsson Sweden 2024 58 min Documentary

Persecution and racism leave their mark, both on a personal level and in a historical context. This film focuses on a hidden part of history – the lives of the Swedish Traveller (Resande) community – and is a quiet reckoning with traumas and shame passed down through generations. “Being part of the Traveller people is not something you talk about with others,” Lotta Adolfsson was told as a child. Now, she brings forward an important story about a minority whose voices are rarely heard – about living with one’s heritage in secret and the consequences it entails.
