A People Uncounted, Aaron Yeger, 2011
Nestes momentos, em que voltam a ressurgir decisões políticas que só podem e devem suscitar o seu total repúdio, atingindo um dos povos que, como foi dito por um amigo meu num documentário que fez sobre eles, nunca causou uma guerra mas que, inexplicavelmente, tanta repulsa e ódio provocou e provoca, convém trazer à lembrança um dos extermínios menos referidos, ofuscado e esquecido pelo omnipresente holocausto do povo judaico. No entanto, e como este documentário bem mostra, os tempos, o passado e o presente, misturam-se numa amnésia perigosa, propícia a atitudes que rapidamente conduzem a que a história se repita tragicamente. Séculos e séculos de perseguição aos Roma mostram a banalização de uma atitude que normaliza o mal e provoca guetos sociais, económicos e culturais, geradores de exclusão e de perseguição.

A People Uncounted is a 2011 Canadian documentary film directed by Aaron Yeger. It tells the story about the culture and history of the Romani people (commonly known as gypsies) in Europe, with special emphasis on their plight during The Holocaust. The film also warns of the similarities in intolerance between the time of the Porajmos (Romani Holocaust) and the increasing intolerance and abuse of Roma rights in Europe today.
A People Uncounted tells the story of the Roma, commonly referred to as Gypsies—a people who have been both romanticized and vilified in popular culture. The Roma have endured centuries of intolerance and persecution in Europe, most notably the Holocaust genocide where an estimated 500,000 were murdered. A People Uncounted documents their culturally rich yet often difficult lives, and demonstrates how their present state has been deeply shaped by the tragedies of the past. Filmed in 11 countries and featuring dozens of Roma—including Holocaust survivors, historians, activists and musicians--A People Uncounted brings the Romani history to life through the rich interplay of their poetry, music, and compelling first hand accounts. As ethnic intolerance flares up across Europe, A People Uncounted sheds light on this unique culture while presenting the Roma tale as emblematic of the world’s legacy of racism and genocide.
