New documentary to be broadcast on BBC

"I'm making a documentary to tell our story." Margaret replies: "Well, weʼve got to do something to show that weʼre alive, that we still exist."

This personal documentary invites viewers into the life of 76-year-old Romani grandmother; Margaret Smith, a former nomadic potato picker who travelled each summer to a small coastal village in South Wales̶. A gathering place for Romani families from across the UK.

The director delves into the Romani collective cultural memory, uncovering the deeper significance of the potato harvest and its connection to an undocumented network of stopping places in her family.
