Starting on the 23rd of November, and lasting three days, we organized an workshop for journalists,
with the support of Roma Initiatives Office, OSF at MACAZ – Bar Theatre Cooperative, Bucharest
on the topic of eviction and the way this subject is reported in the press.
The three day workshop was part of “JAKHALIPEN” project, as the first part of the project. In the
second part of the project, the film director Leonore Kaspar together with LUFT Film Production
produced a short film, with a script based on the discussions which had taken place between the
journalists and the representatives of the evicted communities present at the workshop. The main
characters of the film are played by Nicoleta Vișan, as her own, and by actress Mihaela Drăgan, as
a journalist.
