Introduction by musician Ruslan Trochynskyi.
An intimate, career-spanning portrait of the Ukrainian immigrant Eugene Hütz, chronicling his childhood journey to the U.S., his rise to fame with the immigrant punk band Gogol Bordello and his defiant return to Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
Capturing the raucous atmosphere of their live performances, this frenetic globe-trotting history of the immigrant punk band Gogol Bordello is a firecracker of a documentary. Spanning the final days of the Soviet Union to pre-9/11 New York, and ending with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story is as much about how the world shaped Gogol Bordello as how the band shaped the world.
