Pretty Dyana - A Gypsy recycling story (45 minutes)

"An intimate look at Gypsy refugees in Belgrade suburb who make a living by transfoming Citroen's classic 2cv and Dyane cars into Mad Max-like recycling vehicles, with which they collect cardboard, bottles and scrap metal."

(broadband connection recommended)

An exercise in poverty driven pragmatism and ingenuity. Everything is stripped down to the bare minimum required to get the job done. The ultimate opposite end of the spectrum to the Hummer.

Wonderful, charming and slightly heartbreaking. And very, very human. Kind of "Forrest Gump - The Real Story". Thanks. A keeper.
