The Last Free Humans (1992)
The Yenish (traveling people) in Switzerland view their homes on wheels and their nomadic lifestyle as their freedom. This has repeatedly been met with hostility from the prevailing sense of bourgeois law and order, with devastating consequences for the travelers. The documentary film looks back at the unbelievable chapter of Yenish persecution by the aid organization "Kinder der Landstrasse," which, under the guise of racial hygiene and a benevolent facade, expelled, deported, and forcibly resettled the traveling people from the 1930s onward. Two victims recount their suffering. By offering insights into the contemporary lives of the Yenish, the film becomes more than just a historical document. via: Filmdienst
