Folk! explores the unique underground world of Ukrainian Folk Dancing in New York City through the eyes of narrator/filmmaker Roxy Toporowych. Featuring the legendary ballerina and choreographer Roma Pryma-Bohachevsky and the Syzokryli Dance Ensemble, this comedy-docudrama is both a Ukrainian diaspora time capsule and a universal story relevant to anyone trying to balance ties to one's heritage in a modern world. 

​​

Wishing to celebrate 40 years of teaching folk dance to thousands of students, the legendary Roma Pryma Bohachevska coaxes dancers out of retirement for one final dazzling performance at Lincoln Center, in the hopes that she will find someone to pass her legacy to.
