Pavee Lackeen: The Traveller Girl

I'd not heard of this movie before now, but sounds like it'll be worth watching - for the brits amongst us, it is screened tonight on BBC2, tucked away in the small hours of the night at 3.15.

From the official site:

Pavee Lackeen tells the story of Winnie, a ten year old Irish Traveller girl, who lives with her mother and siblings in a ramshackle trailer on the side of the road in a desolate industrialised area of Dublin. The film follows Winnie through several weeks of her life as she struggles for her identity as a young Traveller girl in contemporary Ireland.

...

Shattering existing stereotypes, Pavee Lackeen presents an intimate portrait of a resilient and spirited young girl and her proud, dignified family struggling day by day against faceless bureaucracy, poverty and prejudice.
