After the Second World War the communist Czechoslovakia experienced the expansion of heavy industry. Roma living in Slovak settlements and villages were coming on a large scale into Czech cities for work in factories, companies and mines. Tens of thousands Roma inhabitants were engaged into the process of building the socialist Czechoslovakia, but their lives never became declared part of the memory of a nation. The movie „When you have work, you have everything“ was part of the project Memory of Roma Workers from the Department of Sociology at Masaryk university in Brno. It documents for-years endeavor of a sociologist Kateřina Janků and her team of representatives of young Roma generation to bring the memories of Roma witnesses back into the Czech public conscious.
