Being Me - It's Kushti To Rokker - Travellers' Times Online

The fifth film in the Its Kushti to Rokker series is ‘Being me’
Demonisation in the media and lack of positive representation of Romani and Traveller history, language and culture in schools can leave many young people feeling conflicted about whether or not to be open about their ethnicity.
Meet Shell she doesn’t want her friend Jenny to know she lives on a site. One day,
new girl Lizzy starts at school and talks openly about being a Traveller. She immediately comes under attack from Jenny. Shell is faced with a tough decision on whether or not to be open about her identity and talk to someone about how she’s feeling or continue on the same path.
