Great Documentary

This documentary is not just about saving disadvantaged kids in a post-soviet country, it is about role of a person and a civil society in fate of a country. Each one of us is a drop in the ocean, and together we are the ocean. Creators of this documentary, by coincidence, witnessed tectonic changes that have been taking place in Ukraine in the past tree years, and they took this opportunity to highlight deep influences of the past of the soviet system and development a new democratic society in a story of Crocodile Gennady an his Republic Pilgrim. I watched this documentary several times.

All I can say is, wow. As an ex-drug addict I was awed by the ability of Hoover to take us into the heart of the Ukrainian drug culture- a culture where the average user is a preteen, a street person, and likely to die from infectious disease from needle use before reaching adulthood. And there's the crazy Ukrainian pastor trying to pull them all off the streets. It's unreal. Yet somehow Hoover puts you into the rawness of this world and you experience the reality of it. With a little parental guidance good at least from teen years up- Don't miss it

Very touching, sometimes hard to watch! Pastor "Crocodile" a gentle man who who will NOT be so gentle with anyone who poses a threat to his "kids." Forget Marvel and D.C., Gennadiy Mokhnenko is a real SUPERHERO!

The captions read that they are speaking Ukrainian when in fact, they are speaking Russian. Eastern Ukraine which is influenced by Russia, the spoken language is Russian.
Interesting film, I would like to see what happens to the Pastor and his program to help addicts, alcoholics and the poor in a few years. Follow up please.

It was a great subject that was presented in an engaging manner. Some areas of the film are heartbreaking and some are hopeful.

Wie ich mitbekommen habe sind viele Szenen im Film nicht enthalten die die Grausamkeit der Realität zeigen.
Es passiert heute, es ist real, jeder kann helfen!
