Music Is My Life (2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director: Alex Djordjevic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country: United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duration: 25:45\n\nSynopsis: Out of a population of roughly 2,500 Roma\npeople in Vladincin Han (Southeastern Serbia), less than 10 are currently\nemployed.  Even with help from several\ncharitable organizations, this culture of unemployment is slow to improve.  Many of the youth in this community will face\na future of collecting recyclables, working odd jobs, or living off social\nwelfare.  While there is a growing\nemphasis for education among many of the families, music has always played an\nimportant role in the community when there was no other way to earn a\nliving.  Children are raised to\nappreciate music and many seem to be born with a natural ability to perform.  Families who manage to earn income through\nperforming are often able to reach a higher standard of living.   I tried to document the people and places of\nthis region and the role music has played in shaping their communities over the\ncenturies. I was especially interested in how music helped shape the lives of\nthe youth, how and why they were drawn to the instruments they played, and what\nthey hope to achieve in the future.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
