-The first thing we wanted to show the group
was how Travellers live.
-I think we get tarred with the same brush.
All Travellers gets tarred with the same brush.
And as you see-- I showed you me home, I'm not dirty.
I don't need for nothing.
And I lives me life.
I'm not reared up just to be just a role model-- show
me, what with me wedding dress, just to get married.
I lives me life.
I does whatever I have to do in the day.
I clean up.
I'll help me mommy.
I'll go to work, even.
I'll come back.
And I'll just get me dinner and go to bed
or I'll go off with the girls to the pictures or do whatever.
-Some Travellers are different.
Everyone thinks they're all the same.
Especially in school, they think that you're all dirty,
and they don't really understand where you live, your culture.
It's basically me coming up to them
and calling them-- say all those there names.
It's not really that fair.
-Yeah.
They just make fun of you, and like, make
fun of your voice and everything.
Like, they think you're all different.
They think like you're different.
-We can't help it, the way we talk.
We're just reared up like that.
-So like, when we go into shops or anything--
like at any normal shop-- as soon as they heard our voice,
they just start looking at us, think we're going to steal
and all that, there.
And they even know why we're coming into the shop.
We're just like everyone else, coming in to pay.
And it really is not fair, the way they look at us.
They watch us, every move.
We get put out of the shop for no reason.
-We need to stop judging and start learning.
-If you heard, like, "dirty gypsy," automatically
obviously, because I've often been called that.
What would you think?
-Like I, honestly, I've never really stereotyped
Travellers, that's why I wanted to do a group with them.
-I'm actually surprised to hear that.
-Yeah, I am so.
-My friends in school would stereotype them, and I would,
like, tell them not to, but they still go on--
-And do you get any grief in school because of that?
-Yeah.
We did.
We were, because people found out
we were doing a group with Travellers.
And they were like, why are yous doing that for?
-Like hardly any people knows what Travellers is like.
All that comes to their brain is like dirty gipsies
and all things like that, there.
But that's what we're making a point about, like, that we're
not all the same.
And we are, like, different, but like we are, like, different.
And that's what we're trying to make a point about.
-But like, I don't know, I'm just curious to know,
like, what do yous think now before-- yous did before?
-I always used to think, like, Travellers all look the same,
but then, whenever I came in-- today, yesterday-- yous, like,
all look really different.
I was like, oh, what's going on?
[PLAYGROUND NOISE]
-We didn't know what to expect when we started working
together to make this film.
-But what we learned is that we are all the same,
and we're all completely different.
-Travellers have a strong sense of tradition,
but we're all part of the same society.
-Culture is something to celebrate.
