To mark International Romani Day and raise awareness about the difficulties Roma community members face in their day-to-day lives, on Thursday, April 13, at 18:00h, join us (DE and EU) for the screening of the movie PONGO CALLING at Kino ARMATA.
This is the last of a movie series the German Embassy conducts together with EU in Kosovo.
Pongo became an activist in 2018, when he reacted to racist statements by the former Czech President Miloš Zeman, according to whom the vast majority of Roma people do not work. He called on Roma to post photos of themselves working on social media.
This documentary captures Pongo’s enthusiasm and his clashes with his wife, who has her own ideas about the compatibility of her husband’s activism with family life.
The film will be screened free of charge in original languages with English subtitles. Gazmend Salijević, Deputy Minister of Communities and Return, and Isak Skenderi, Executive Director at Voice of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians will be giving introductory remarks.
