Almost Holy

Steve Hoover's riveting documentary follows one man's crusade to help the homeless and drug-addicted young people of his hometown of Mariupol in Ukraine.


 With Gennadiy’s help over the years, things seem to have changed. Mariupol is no longer crawling with homeless kids. Many credit this largely to his efforts at Pilgrim. Now, as the large majority of Ukraine leans towards a European Union inclusion, hopes of continued revitalisation seem possible. In the meantime, Gennadiy's centre has evolved into a more nebulous institution.
