September 2006 | Roma Media Lab, Television

This was the first part of an exciting commission from the Open Society Institute as part of their Roma Decade programme.

The commission comprised of two separate 5-day residential Labs in Hungary. The brief was to raise the quality of commissioned productions being undertaken by collaborative teams of Roma and non-Roma TV and radio professionals, and to address the mutual suspicion, which leads to discrimination, between Romas and non-Romas from nine countries in Eastern Europe.
