PAPUSZA trailer

PAPUSZA Drama by Joanna Kos-Krauze and Krzysztof Krauze 131’ –Poland – 2013 Synopsis True story of Papusza – the first Roma woman who wrote her poems down and had them published, and by doing so challenged the traditional female image in the gypsy community. The film follows Papusza’s life from birth to old age: arranged marriage as a small girl, her life in a gypsy tabor before, during and after the Second World War, then forced settlement in communist Poland and urban life in poverty. Her meeting with the Polish poet Jerzy Ficowski, who discovered her great talent for poetry and published her works led to a tragic paradox: a famous poet was living in poverty, rejected by the Roma community, for betraying their secrets. www.rollingfilm.org www.facebook.com/pages/Rolling-Film-Fest­­ival/194205320598831
