NDI celebrated the culture and achievements -- and highlighted the plight -- of the Roma people, commonly called "gypsies," in honor of the 40th anniversary of International Roma Day. The Institute used the occasion to debut a short public awareness film about Roma, "Who Are the Roma?" with original music by Academy Award winning composer Hans Zimmer.
