Introduced by: Marion Kurucz - Producer, Romedia Foundation
"Since July 2010, the French government's policies on the expulsion of Eastern-European Roma from France have fed an unprecedented media frenzy in Europe and beyond. The Budapest-based Romedia Foundation, producer of the award-winning "Mundi Romani -- the World through Roma Eyes" series uncovers the roots of the issues at stake." (29 mins) (www.mundiromani.com)

Introduced by: Tihomir Loza - Deputy Director, Transitions
"Few media outlets feature balanced coverage of Roma communities.
