Summary:

How can one manage loss? Is the trauma more intense when a person's life is taken by the police themselves? How can Roma speak up when society refuses to listen to them? How can they grieve when their lives are not valued by state institutions as worthy of living?

Πως μπορεί κανείς να διαχειριστεί την απώλεια; Είναι το τραύμα εντονότερο όταν η ζωή ενός ανθρώπου αφαιρείται από την ίδια την αστυνομία; Πως μπορούν οι Ρομά να μιλήσουν όταν η κοινωνία αρνείται να τους ακούσει; Πως μπορούν να πενθήσουν όταν οι ζωές τους δεν αξιολογούνται από τους κρατικούς θεσμούς ως άξιες να βιωθούν;
