  • With unprecedented access to children within the Gypsy and Traveller community; this three part documentary series explores their world, through their eyes.
    These children revel in the freedom of a gypsy childhood while facing prejudice and even eviction from an early age. Demonstrating maturity beyond their years, they offer an insight into one of the most marginalised yet resilient communities in the UK
    13 year old Sylvanna is part English Traveller and dreams of becoming a model, “I am quite different to many travellers. They have got some of the old fashioned ways...they believe in just staying home, helping and clean and the men go out. I believe women are about as equal as men.” Determined to succeed and provide for her family she must first go through the ruthless casting process. When faced with the decision “£10,000 to cut your hair” Sylvanna shows commendable resilience as she proves her Gypsy identity is not for sale.

    I feel bad for Oliver. As someone with ADHD I am almost certain he has the same. You can see it in him. His hyperfocus and special interest is his horses. He talks of not being able to concentrate and the part with the tutor shows that. If he had the proper support from SEN teams he could get everything he needed maths and English wise to allow him to be a farrier. It’s just that support that’s missing.

    My cousin married a Gypsy here in the states. They have been married for over 10 years and have 4 kids. Her in-laws still call her a Gorger. She seems really happy in her marriage. She knew all her life that she just wanted to be a stay at home mom. Her husband is a hard worker and they are NOT on any kind of assistance.

    The gypsies are similar to some other cultures the Amish they only go to school to the 8th grade
    Where as the gypsies girls go to school until they are 11 and the boys quit early and go work with their dads but I think they should make sure they can read or at least read at home and basic math if they at least have that they could go and be a doctor a veterinarian or even a nurse you can only take being pretty so far in life .

    I dunno why that modeling agent can’t get it through her head Savanna’s hair is a very basic Traveler cultural value. Would she be asking a Muslim female to remove her hijab? Or an observant Jew to remove her covering? I think not, that wouldn’t be respectful of their culture. I hope Savanna learns to forcefully advocate for recognition of her culture.

    You don't need to cut your hair to get modelling jobs, my son had shoulder length hair and he went to shoot having been chosen by the casting director, the photographer said he wanted to trim his hair, we refused and I said why did you choose him if you don't like his look ?If he'd had it cut for that one shoot it would have made him less adaptable for modern or period pieces, he acted as well, he still did the shoot, stick to your guns, your hair is your culture and stylists can adapt to you.Good luck with the modelling, you are stunning.

I can’t guarantee how successful she will be in her modelling career because in addition to looks it also comes down to her presence on camera and on runways. Modelling takes a lot of skill and we can’t determine whether or not she has those skills just from seeing her face.
      That being said, even if she does end up getting lots of work as a model (which she very well may) the modelling industry just doesn’t pay their models well at all. So even if she manages to get lots of work, a lot of those jobs won’t pay very well

      Divorce is frowned upon and due to leaving school at 11 with no real education it's hard for women to support themselves if they leave. Which is why so many of them stay in abusive marriages, no where to go and shamed if you do. Also a life of bullying and abuse if any of these kids grows up to be gay. These vids show it through rose tinted glasses.
