Gypsy Wars (20th March 2006) [PDTV (Xvid)]
---------------------------------------------------



Depending on which paper you read, Gypsies are either spongers and the scourge of society or a respectable community of people who have chosen a different way of life.

Filmed over eight months, Gypsy Wars offers a unique insight into the often violent confrontations between local residents and the travellers who set up camp in their ‘back yard.’

Three films explore the lives of those who live on either side of the divide: travellers driven from town to town by the law, forced into huge illegal sites; and residents waging solitary campaigns defending their own 'human rights'.

Not for the faint-hearted, the series delivers stories of eviction, destruction, revolt and murder. Gypsy Wars reveals the jagged relationship between people who see themselves on the verge of civil war.


Episode Info
---------------

Originally broadcast on BBC3 in May & repeated Sep/Oct 2005, these are rips from BBC2 in 2006.

Episode 1 - Dale Farm (20th March 2006)
Cameras visit Dale Farm, the biggest Irish travellers' site in Europe - a self-contained world of concrete and caravans in the heart of the Essex countryside. The travellers face eviction - and the barricades are going up.

Episode 2 - Cottenham (27th March 2006)
Irish gypsies have descended on the picture postcard village of Cottenham. They've settled on the orchard owned by conservationist Joanna Gordon-Clark and she's determined to get it back, in the face of threats of violence and intimidation.

Episode 3 - Pennypot Lane (03rd April 2006)
In March, an Irish traveller was shot dead on a site in the heart of suburban Surrey. The killing brought to a head the clash of cultures between the settled and travelling communities. Out on the open road with the cousin of the murdered man, cameras tell the inside story of gypsy life - searching for work, setting up camp in parks, and dodging the police and the bailiffs.
