Thank you so much for everyone who had a part in this brilliant film. Wonderful script, beautiful and clever (in a good way) graphics, lovely music, incredibly informative, humane, and just plain perfect. I learned more in five minutes about gypsies/Roma/travellers than in the whole rest of my life. It should be required viewing in schools, youth organisations, and perhaps Parliament. Wonderful!

As a Roma my self I was shocked when I see these Irish and Scottish travellers that how similar way of life they have even their professions were the same .. I’m just shocked .. god bless Irish and Scottish travellers from a roma 🙏 ❤ 💪🏻 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ..

Thanks for educating us. My sense is the irish travellers were the remnants of the gaelic old order, and deserve great respect for never submitting to english law

An excellent short film. I am not a traveller myself but I have always been interested in your way of life. This film taught me a lot about your lives from the past. Thank you for sharing it.

My Dad's family were Roma but my Grandmother inherited a farm in Wales. They opened a chip shop in Brynawel near the pit. My Grandad was killed in that pit but I always remember the 3 horseshoe trivet my Nan kept in her fire grate from her travelling days.

[plodmama]

At last! It's so good to be taught this, I've been so confused about it! Thank you for a really well-made film (just the right pacing and length)

[AntaresBottia]

It's a good video, basic information and yet there is much, much more to the history of our people. Much more.

You should of added the full repetoire of our skill sets. We are not all tree surgeons and ground worker's. Many of us are artists, entertainers, diplomats.

Absolutely beautiful and the rythm and pace of it was so lovely. I learned so much and want to know so much more. I think I may have some 'Gypsy' blood, from some research I have done. Exciting!
