Do Magic
Back
To protect her daughter, Roma filmmaker Vera Lacková embarks on a journey to break both a personal and collective curse. She encounters Roma witches and scientists, explores Roma identity and history, and ultimately creates a fairy tale together with her family—as a therapeutic means of rewriting family history. “Do Magic” is a hybrid documentary that interweaves reality with staged fairy tale scenes and personal reflection, addressing systemic racism and transgenerational trauma, and seeking ways to heal within the Roma community.
