Caravane 55
Achères, in the Yvelines département of France. Salcuta Filan, a young Gypsy from Romania, lives with her two children and 30 other families on a strip of earth on the outskirts of the city. Moved by their neediness, the mayor hasn’t the courage to expel them. But early in 2003, the new government designated the Gypsies as a “problem to be solved.” On March 5, the news breaks: the prefecture plans to expel the Gypsies the next morning. The townspeople mobilize during the night to avoid the inevitable. The confrontation takes place, but 150 policemen surround the terrain and the caravans are destroyed in full sight of their owners. Achères takes an unexpected decision: families with children attending school can stay. Salcuta’s children are among them. The city allots them terrain in the center of town and decides to challenge the prefect.
