Romani dancer and journalist Liza Mortimer explores England's folk music archive to uncover her family's forgotten story. Through conversations with collectors and singers, she discovers how her great-grandmother Minty Smith and other Romani families played a crucial but unrecognized role in preserving England's traditional songs.

This film was funded by the University of East Anglia's AHRC Impact Accelerator Award (AH/X00344/1) as part of the project 'Romani and Traveller Voices in Music Archives'.
