Gennadiy is a Pastor in Mariupol, Ukraine. He started a Mission to save the street kids from drugs, alcohol and the horrors that the streets hold in the post communism reality of the erstwhile Soviet State. Often being referred to as a vigilante as he is not afraid to let God speak through his fists if so needed.
He has attained a fame or notoriety but as the film unfolds you can see that he has saved so many people who were without hope until he turned up. They use archive footage and TV appearances to tell the back stories of him and the kids of whom he has adopted over 30 as they had no one and his wife has to be a saint too.
It documents the ups and many downs and the ensuing war when Russia rocks up. This is inspirational stuff but it is also disheartening when you see some of the not so successful outcomes. As a documentary though it is incredibly watchable and so I can easily recommend.
