Andy Webster New York Times Much of this movie is composed of survivors who give harrowing accounts of their experiences, and their warnings about rising ethnic hatred in Europe should not be ignored. May 15, 2014 Full Review Jenni Miller AV Club Thanks to extensive interviews, footage, photos, and illustrations, it's a compelling documentary, but some passages still feel as if they've been given short shrift. Rated: B May 15, 2014 Full Review Diana Clarke Village Voice Yeger merges old-world aesthetics with clean, contemporary camerawork, infusing the present with the past. May 13, 2014 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl For a subject so potentially fraught with emotion, A People Uncounted is a surprisingly calm film... Rated: 7/10 Oct 11, 2014 Full Review Chris Knight National Post As a call for remembrance, this is a powerful document. Rated: 3/4 Aug 1, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member My knowledge of the Roma, or Gypsies as I knew them until I heard the word Roma before my first trip to Europe, was limited. The documentary A People Uncounted is an excellent primer on Roma history and culture, way back to their origins in northern India. Many Great Courses classes,free at your public library, have also helped me build my knowledge base. People all over the world have many similarities, urban & rural, rich & poor, all religions, hues, cultures and traditions. The more we know, the more peace we'll have. I highly recommend this intriguing, true-to-life film. I guarantee you'll learn things you didn't know :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member We humans really know how do evil things to each other. So sad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Nobody learn no nothing from no history. Very well-made and sobering documentary about the suffering of the Roma (gypsy) people. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A real eye-opener to the Romani Genocide of the Holocaust, which has been largely overshadowed by the much more widely known and researched Jewish Holocaust. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A real eye-opener to the Romani Genocide of the Holocaust, which has been largely overshadowed by the much more widely known and researched Jewish Holocaust. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Although the film was a bit scattered (there's a lot of territory to cover), I was shocked at how much of this information I didn't know. Well done Aaron Yeger for attempting to boil decades of horrible persecution into less than 2 hours. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
