Romania: "from Glod to Gold"

This was his idea... To go into the gypsy town of Glod, where Borat was filmed, and document how they actually live.

I listen as he tells me all these ideas. He has many indeed.

20 years ago he had one which resulted in 120 orphans to visit the city of Chester (at the invitation of the then mayor). This was just after the scenes of the orphanages in Romania. He described the flight as taken up entirely by children and his 11 helpers. Must have been a sight.

He was glad to have helped and dreams to take the same people back in 3 years. He said he's already promised so he'll see me in Chester.

This I got to see.
