Caucasian Fear
The usual patronizing, White supremacist gobshite about a culture Whites refuse to treat with respect or courtesy; that is, any culture other than White.
What could have been an interesting anthropological study about a necessarily-secretive culture descends into camp as Whites and Jews find any number of reasons to mock those who hide from others out of the sheer need of physical and cultural survival.
Jealous Whites are quite unable to accept that the very culture they ridicule possesses the cultural depth they clearly lack. And, yet, Whites are perfectly well-aware that their mockery tacitly reveals this dearth of Caucasian cultural-substance.
No compare-and-contrast between the culture of the makers and that of the subject is ever objectively-presented; resulting in no exploration of the White supremacy that prompts nonsense-tv like this - nor of the White supremacy that makes gypsies unwilling to accept outsiders. Nor is their any exploration of why Whites need to feel superior to others to desperately evade their existential angst.
A pseudo-documentary saying more about the people who made it than those in it.
