Dikhav - Les bords du fleuve

The Gorgans are a Roma family who live on the outskirts of Arles, in the South of France. The family has inhabited the region for generations, but their living and work conditions largely remain those of nomadic subalterns. Their encounters with the political institutions of French and European society are primarily with the police and penal system. Without access to the privileges of so-called normal citizenship, their everyday life is necessarily marked by a continuous invention of the forms of communal existence.
