Kevin Asch’s feature directing debut, Holy Rollers is inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to smuggle ecstasy from Europe into the United States. Sam Gold (Jesse Eisenbeg), a young Hasid from an orthodox Brooklyn community reluctantly follows the path his family has chosen for him, until a charming neighbor, Yosef Zimmerman (Justin Bartha), senses Sam’s resistance and propositions him to transport ‘medicine’ for Jackie (Danny A. Abeckaser), an Israeli dealer, and his girlfriend, Rachael (Ari Graynor). As the business grows, Sam’s double life begins to rip his family apart. Caught between life as a smuggler and the path back to God, Sam goes on the run, forced to make a fatal decision that could bring the entire operation crashing down. Runtime 89 min
