In contemporary Europe challenged by unprecedented migratory flows, a growing urgency to preserve national identity burns not only along borders but also inside, forcing minorities into ghettos. Roma, Sinti and Gypsy communities count more than 11 million people, still yet systematically discriminated. 

Stolipinovo, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is Europe’s biggest Gypsy ghetto.
Formerly ordinary district during communism, Stolipinovo was turned into a ghetto with the event of democracy and the privatisation of industries which caused the Gypsies to lose their jobs for racial discrimination. Job or education opportunities are out of reach. 80.000 inhabitants have Turkish and Muslim cultural roots. 
In contrast with a strong community-based social structure and system of traditions, the inhabitants of Stolipinovo are forced to live in squalid decay and daily social, housing, economic, health emergency.
Stolipinovo is a portrait of systematic discrimination in Europe in our century.
