About film
Every year thousands of Hasidim from more than 70 countries make a journey to the gravesite of Rebbe Nachmann in Uman. They make an enormous contribution to the economics of the city, but not everyone is happy: Ukrainian far-right groups campaign against the foreigners and accuse local authorities of corruption.
