The film asks what has drawn people from some of the world‘s wealthiest nations to Bulgaria since the days of the Iron Curtain - to learn its dances, collect songs from elderly village singers, master traditional instruments and wear Bulgarian folk costumes with extraordinary pride and joy.</div><div><br></div><div>Filmed over nearly seven years across Bulgaria, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, the United States and Japan, Soul Beyond Measure is ultimately about much more than folklore. Through deeply personal stories, it explores love, belonging, identity, friendship, loss and the remarkable ability of music and dance to connect people across cultures and borders.</div></div>DocumentaryPT1H49MTBC2026-09-24
