The Holy Rollers Movie will be released in May of 2010. It is being released by First Independent Pictures. It is a comedy, drama and it is rated R. The director is hoping it goes over well in the theaters.
The Holy Rollers movie was actually inspired by actual events in the late nineties when Hasidic Jews were recruited as mules to actually smuggle ecstasy from Europe in the United States. One of the young Hasid from an Orthodox community reluctantly follows the path his family has chosen for him, as he is awaiting a pending and arranged marriage and also trying to study to become a Rabbi. A really nice neighbor sees Sam’s dilemma and resistance and propositions that he work for him taking “medicine” to Israel dealer and his girlfriend.
Sam catches on to the business fast and not knowing what he is carrying continues on with his friend. The bosses soon take Sam under their care. Now he has been subjected to the different worlds than how he was raised he dislikes his other way of life. Turning completely away from them, It doesn’t take Sam long to get deeper into the lifestyles of his new family. As the business grows, it seems as though it is going to tear his other lifestyle in two as he leaves his way of life going to the side which has him delivering illegal drugs. He now knows what he is carrying but he doesn’t care. Soon he even falls in love and not to the arranged marriage. This makes his father all but disown him. It takes Sam a while but he realizes what its like behind the parties and the money and it was a shallow life. Caught in a life as a smuggler and then the path back to God, Sam decides to go on the run from everyone. Then he is forced to make a harsh decision that could make the entire operation come crashing down; that is if he has the courage.
This is going to be a good movie and one to go see at the theaters when it comes out.
