Gypsy Davy

Rachel Leah JONES 2012 Israel Documentary color 96min English,Spanish BD
When a blond-Californian becomes a Spanish Flamenco guitarist in Andalucian boots, what happens along the way and behind the scenes? Gypsy Davy tells the story of David Jones, from the
perspective of his five women and five children—one of whom is the director. Shot over a ten-year period in five countries across three continents, the film is a personal and political portrait of a man, a family, a generation.
