Roma Gypsies in Paris: Romanian Roma living in difficulty who have come to France looking for a better live, find themselves in a similiar predicament, facing racism from the general populus and systematic controls and evictions from their makeshift squatter camps in the suburbs and temporary places of abode inside Paris. Some recycle metal or suft through the rubbish bins looking for items to sell. Others beg or play music looking for handouts from passers by. Paris and Banlieu, Ile de France, France April 2014
