Told: The Village of Wonderworkers Buvero 2013 follow-up commissioned by the Romedia Foundation, three Roma girls, (Leila A. Balázs, Fanni Gurbai, Ágnes Porczió), with the help of their mentor (Norbert Szirmai), went to shoot a video in a small village in the county of Hajdu-Bihar, called Told. Approximately 300 people live here, of which 70% are Roma. Most of the local families live in deep poverty, under terrible circumstances. There are streets that are not connected to the main water supply at all. Some of the houses are in uninhabitable shape, in which families with small children live due to lack of an alternative. A number of these houses are not furnished. Many of the gardens don’t even have toilets in them. Most of the parents can’t enrol their children in schools, no matter how smart the child is, because there is no school in the village. The town is completely segregated geographically. They can’t even afford to pay the bus ride for their children to go to the school in the neighbouring city. And many people among the middle-aged inhabitants are illiterate.
