Richard Rai O'Neill reflects on the Romany philosophy of freedom.

Richard Rai O'Neill reflects on the part of Romany philosophy that says life is about freedom for enjoying health and love.

Richard Rai O'Neill reflects on the Romany philosophy of freedom - both the ideal and the reality. Born into a large Romany family in 1962, Richard's grandmother taught him that a Romany life was about freedom in order to enjoy health and love. He also explores a more pragmatic aspect to Romany philosophy that says that in a tough financial period, it's time to move on to a different place as a new place brings new luck.

Series in which five writers consider the meaning of freedom to them
