The Round Up stands out by focusing on the Romani experience, providing a unique perspective on the Porajmos. By shifting the focus from traditional wartime narratives to the experiences of targeted ethnic groups, the film challenges established historical narratives. While the film excels in its portrayal of the Romani experience and critiques institutional violence, it lacks representation of LGBTQ+ identities and specific disability-focused narratives. The narrative emphasizes the immediate survival of families under state-sponsored violence. Ultimately, the film serves as a powerful critique of systemic institutional power, using the 1942 Vel' d'Hiv Roundup to explore how racialized violence affects specific communities.
