French Gitans
French Manouche in northern France, celibrating a Roma Catholic christening for two young girls in their family. The numbers of Catholic Roma are dwindling as many are poached by the quickly expanding Evangelist movement.The Born Again Evangelist religion presents itself more as a fanatical overbearing culture refusing to take on board many of the old traditional Romani ways. Concepts of luck and fortune are replaced by god fearing destiny, traditional music and dance cast aside, whilst drinking alcohol is forbidden
