Co-photographed by legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles and directed by Jasmine Dellai, Gypsy Caravan – When the Road Bends (also known as When the Road Bends - Tales of a Gypsy Caravan) dynamic musical documentary sees five Gypsy bands from four countries unite for the Gypsy Caravan as they take their show around North America for a six-week tour, astounding every audience they meet. Their musical styles range from flamenco to brass band, Romanian violin to Indian folk. And with humour and soul in their voices, they celebrate the best in Gypsy culture and the diversity of the Romani people in an explosion of song and dance.  As the film follows the amazing performances and behind-the-scenes action from the tour created by World Music Institute, we discover the real lives of these musicians. We visit Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and see what music brings to their lives. The tales of these characters are woven between their performances – allowing us to understand and celebrate Romani culture and the prejudice of their shared ancestry.

Gypsy Caravan has been announced for a DVD release in the UK for 28th April by ICA Films at the RRP of £19.99. The transfer is 16:9 letterboxed and there are no extra features.
