KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments: |
|
Good story, well produced. Deals with difficult issues - prejudice, gypsy culture, class struggles, abandonment, acceptance. Stresses independent thinking. Pace is awkward for this complex story line. |

KIDS FIRST!® KID Juror Comments: |

Kids liked the story and the period costumes and sets. They didn't like the negative portrait of gypsies and the presentation seemed too muddled for complete understanding. |
