Description
Summary:	They are reviled. For centuries the Roma have wandered Europe. During the Holocaust half a million were killed. After World War II and during the Troubles, a wave of Irish Travellers moved to England to build a better, safer life. They found places to settle down, but then, as Occupy was taking over Wall Street and London, the vocal Dale Farm community was evicted from their land. Many did not leave their homes quietly. They put up a legal, and at times, physical fight.
