MOLOKANS
 Documentary
Russian Molokans are a religious sect, who were expelled from Russia in the 19th century. Molokans now live in different countries of the world, but have kept their religion and lifestyle unchanged. They live in closed communities; they consider television a tool of Satan and never watch it; and they don’t like to be filmed or photographed.
However, we managed to make a film about them!

The film is available on request, please e-mail us for details.
