How I Became a Partisan

Numerous stories from WWII remain untold, and some might remain forever unknown. The fates of Roma partisans in the former Czechoslovakia is one such story. While uncovering her family's partisan past, director Vera Lacková learns about other forgotten Roma fighters. During her search, she comes up against deep-rooted prejudice, indifference, and hatred towards the Roma community. She aims to change the misconception that Roma were merely victims of the war and show that the heroic deeds of the Romani deservedly form a part of European history.
