RusDocFilmFest-3W: “I HAVE BELIEVED – I BELIEVE”

The group is from the remote border town of Dalnerechensk, in the Far East of Russia. Since settling in the 17th century, the Cossacks have lived in the Primorsky Krai Region, on the border with China. The Cossacks have survived local nature, armed conflicts with neighboring tribes, the blood of the Russian Revolution and the horrors of the Soviet GULAG, and have carried their own culture and folklore through it all. This film is about a people who have become accustomed to fighting, and winning. They express their pain and suffering in resonant Cossack song.
Language: Russian, English subtitles. American premiere.
