My Pretty Dyana
"Pretty Dyana: A Gypsy Recycling Saga - An intimate look at Gypsy refugees in a Belgrade suburb who make a living by transforming Citroen's classic 2cv and Dyana cars into Mad Max-like recycling vehicles, with which they collect cardboard, bottles and scrap metal. These modern horses are much more efficient than the cart-pushing competition, but even more important - they also mean freedom, hope and style for their crafty owners. Even the car batteries are used as power generators in order to get some light, watch TV and recharge mobiles! Almost an alchemist's dream come true! But the police doesn't always find these strange vehicles funny...." (Dribbling Pictures)

This is a great documentary. It shows the great igenuity of the people... they remodel these cars with hacksaws and hammers... I see these Dyanes all over Belgrade. Watch the film if you have time, it's available in 5 parts on YouTube.
