Children’s Movie

November 10, 2017 Published by: RF

The television children movie called “Nellie’s Adventures” in the German TV is getting a lot of critique for its representation of Sinti and Roma, which, to say the least are presented in a stereotypical fashion: They are petty criminals, con men, or beggars.
