Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World
VESELKA: THE RAINBOW ON THE CORNER AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD from writer-director Michael Fiore spotlights New York City's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka. For 70 years, it is best known for its borscht and varenyky, but it has become a beacon of hope for Ukraine. As the second-generation owner Tom Birchard reluctantly retires after 54 years, his son Jason faces the pressures of stepping into his father’s shoes as the war in Ukraine impacts his family and staff. Narrated by David Duchovny.
Featuring Saxophone solos by David Sanborn.

“A heartwarming look at an iconic NYC restaurant.”
