After escaping the USSR in the 1980s, a Jewish family from Odessa builds a new life around a New York City bathhouse, and fights to keep it on the right side of the law. Little Ukraine is an action-crime drama from director Ante Novakovic, starring Chris Tardio, Yanina Studilina, Neraida Bega, and Katarina Radivojevic.

Why This Film Matters: Immigrant families navigating survival, identity, and the pull of the criminal underworld are a permanent part of the American story. Set in a tight-knit émigré community, Little Ukraine explores what people risk to protect what they've built. It's a gritty, human look at the cost of chasing a foothold in a new country.
