This Country Was Not Mine/ Eihän tämä maa minun omani ollut part 1/4

The documentary "This Country Was Not Mine" (directed by Katariina Lillqvist) is a 60-minute movie about the history, culture and the modern day of the Finnish Roma people. The documentary's premiere is a part of Kino Kalderas, a two-day Roma Film Festival. The festival is held at the movie theater Kino in Helsinki. Both the festival and the movie are produced by the Film Cooperative Camera Cagliostro.
The main character of the film is a singer Hilja Grönfors. Through Hilja's memories, songs, the everyday life and some archive material from the 60's, we see a past Finland filled with prejudice and oppression focused at the Roma people.
Today the concept of a nomad Roma folk is history and the first generation of Roma people born in the cities is now middle aged. Still, the discrimination is very much alive in spite of the fact that there is a law forbidding it. On her journeys, Hilja comes across attitudes and stories that you wouldn't think were alive anymore in modern day Finland.

I do not speek this language, but it is always beautiful to hear the song of a spoken word, from a culture long away and from a people not yet forgotten...

Te joka laulatte kaaleen lauluja niin laulakaa edes oikeilla sanoilla . Jatkuvasti muuttuu sanat ja sävel. Hilja osaa laulaa mutta sekin keksii omia sanoja. Pappi Valte vainaan laulutkin muokataan oman mieltymyksen mukaan.
