From New York City’s sensational Russo-disco scene to a non-stop touring marathon with his band "Gogol Bordello", Eugene Hütz takes us deep into his artistic life. The story unfolds over five years, beginning in 2001, and follows Eugene and "Gogol Bordello’s" progress from underground legend to international phenomenon. Ranging in age from 25 to 50 years old, and hailing from five different countries, "Gogol Bordello’s" members share their tales of immigration, of how they became part of the band, and how they quit their day jobs to go on tour. Taking pride in his Roma background, Hütz not only sings in Romany, he collaborates with and supports New York City’s Roma musicians, such as Yuri Yunakov and Piroska Racz. And after five years on the road, the band has coalesced into a solid artistic collective, a family. The documentary is opening hearts and ears to an artistic revolution in a globalized era.
„Fortunately, (...) GOGOL BORDELLO NON-STOP offers a record of the ,alarming energy' of the ensemble’s early perfs.“ (Alissa Simon, Variety, Februar 2008)
