Scream Of My Blood: Gogol Bordello Story (Blu-ray)

SCREAM OF MY BLOOD: A GOGOL BORDELLO STORY is a high-voltage portrait of immigrant punk band Gogol Bordello as told through the life and music of frontman Eugne Hütz. Born in Ukraine to a family with Romani roots, Hütz fled his homeland as a refugee in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, eventually landing in New York City--a place where cultures collide and identities are reinvented. There, he built Gogol Bordello: a genre-defying band of fellow immigrants from across the globe, whose electrifying fusion of punk rock and international folk traditions became a rallying cry for outsiders everywhere. From busking on downtown streets to igniting stages around the world, their rise is a testament to the power of cultural cross-pollination and unapologetic self-expression. Drawing on never-before-seen archives spanning over two decades--including intimate interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and explosive live performances--Scream of My Blood captures not just the evolution of a band, but the forging of a global movement. At its core, Scream of My Blood is a story shared by millions: the struggle to belong, the tension between assimilation and authenticity, and the defiant joy of celebrating your roots while creating something entirely new. As anti-immigrant sentiment rises globally, Gogol Bordello's message feels more urgent than ever. And when war calls Hütz back to Ukraine, the journey comes full circle--linking past and present, homeland and adopted country. Ultimately, Scream of My Blood is a love letter to immigrants everywhere, and a celebration of the vital role they play in shaping culture, community, and the Undestructible spirit of punk rock resistance.
