Kenedi Goes Back Home
The first film in what would ultimately become Zilnik’s famed Kenedi trilogy follows street hustler Kenedi Hasani and his friend as they roam the streets of Serbia seeking Kenedi’s parents. Kenedi Goes Back Home is Zilnik’s account of the Roma people who were forced to flee from the war in the Balkans to Germany in the 1990s and who, ten years later, are forced against their will to return to Serbia. Zilnik shows the immigrants' lives in relation to the prevailing ideology shaped today by the borders between rich and poor and by the often-racist selection process that determines who will be accepted into Western Europe. In presenting the dilemmas and identifying the crises these people face, he appeals for a solution.

Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
The documentary follows the lives of several Roma, two in particular, who have been deported from Germany to Belgrade, and inserted into economic and social situations totally alien to their previous experience. They complain of having all money and valuables confiscated upon arrival, but this is never confirmed, as the film is not investigative, and focuses solely on the Roma characters. There is no narrative or music, and the director lets the characters deliver whatever messages the film conveys through their conversations and facial expressions.The two main characters both have very sympathetic stories. The first to be introduced has lost much in being deported, but has managed to buy a car and uses it to earn his livelihood. Hard-working and seemingly a good person, this guy is an example of how many advanced democracies' immigration policies need serious revision (not only Germany's). The second is a young man who has been separated from his parents, and is searching for them in the Roma community around Belgrade, with Kenedi's help. He has spent his entire life in Germany, is obviously bright and well educated, but can't communicate effectively in the local languages. What will happen to this young man, who obviously has a lot of potential?Interesting for even the casual viewer, fascinating for those interested in Roma affairs or the legacy of the former Yugoslavia. I caught this late night on the Polish cable channel called Kultura. I would love to see the follow-up.
