The Righteous Gypsy

This documentary focuses on Hajira Imeri Mihaljic, who worked for the Levi family in Croatia.

The Righteous Gypsy serves as a tribute not only to Mihaljic's courageous actions but also to the resilience of the Roma people during World War II. This film brings to light a previously unknown story that adds to the discourse around wartime heroism and the complexities of identity. Collectors of documentaries will find this film an important addition that sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of history.
