Description
Damian Le Bas sets out to uncover the stopping places - the old encampment sites known only to Travellers. Growing up surrounded by Gypsy history, he seeks to better understand his heritage through this journey.
Through winter frosts and summer dawns, he lives on the road, somewhere between the romanticised Gypsies of old, and their much-maligned descendants of today. This is a story about identity, community, and the complexities of belonging.
