Groups in this region:
To all friends and partners of Surrey Gypsy Traveller Communities Forum
You are warmly invited to see the acclaimed film 'A People Uncounted' in which survivors tell the relatively untold story of 'Perajmos': the Roma Holocaust
Date: Weds 27th Jan, Holocaust Memorial Day, 7 pm (doors)
Venue: Leatherhead Theatre, 7 Church St, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22 8DN Less than 10 mins walk from Leatherhead Station
No charge for admission Aged 18+ only, as some content is distressing
Please see the attached press release and poster from the Forum that says more about the purpose of the showing. We believe that this film speaks powerfully into the realities of modern day UK and Europe. Please give it your support, print and display the poster, forward this e mail and invite others who are close enough to Leatherhead. The venue is 5 mins from Jn 9 of M25.
We particularly want to publicise 'A People Uncounted' within GRT communities. The third attachment, which is a bit more to the point, may be helpful for that.
Here is a link to content re this film on the website of Leatherhead Theatre: http://www.theleatherheadtheatre.org/event.php?id=890
Sorry for short notice, as we've only just managed to get permission for public performance of the film. Apologies also for date clash with LGTU Annual Celebration! Thank you for your help in getting the word out.
We will be able to share the PPR rights with some partner voluntary organisations who may also want to show the film (free of charge to audience) in the future, for a contribution towards our outlay. Please ask me if you are interested or forward this to relevant local voluntary organisation.

We set up our own permanent site and the first transit site in the south of England for 25 years. Both sites are recommended in the good practice guide recommended by government. We did this at our own expense to give an example of what good accommodation for Gypsy people should be. We worked with Southampton council and secured their first transit site secured by one vote (changing one councillors view). We try to build links with the settled community by staging events such as the Romani Roots festival, that shows the Gypsy way of life and culture.
This event was attended by Gypsy people and the general public - over 3,500 this year. Greg Yates - 01243 572367
