Inside Britain’s most misunderstood community.

Gypsies have been nomadic for centuries. But today in Britain their way of life is under threat like never before. Tighter laws, and fewer places to live. We’re on the road, by the fireside, in the boxing ring, and at the heart of Britain’s biggest gypsy gatherings to ask: why does this community have such an image problem, and can it be challenged from the inside?
