Experiencing Interruptions?

My Kind Of People

Ella's short documentary, ‘My Kind of People’, will explore the role of friendship within the Traveller community and what factors contribute to that friendship. She wants to learn what friendship truly means for Travellers today and what it meant many years ago.

Through interviews with friends and family, Ella hopes to discover the impact of friendship and camaraderie within the community and discuss challenges now versus for older generations.
