For most of its history, the Romani commune of Zmaljevo was a peaceful residential area. As the Chinese-owned Zijin Mining Company has expanded and begun mining directly behind, life in these footholds has become significantly worse. Now, after a recent purchase of the land on which they live on by Zijin, the Romani await as resettlement hangs over their heads. In the shadow of all of this, we follow a variety of personal stories: Romani boxers, patriarchs, schoolgirls, and the Chinese workers who have come to settle in around this community.
