The beet goes on: The acclaimed Veselka doc gets a streaming and Blu-ray release date

"Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World," the documentary on the iconic Ukrainian diner, will be available on streaming services and Blu-ray on Nov. 12. 

The well-reviewed film, directed by Michael Fiore and narrated by David Duchovny, who grew up nearby, opened at the Village East by Angelika on Feb. 23. 

A description: 
New York City's beloved Ukrainian restaurant, Veselka, 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. 
And the trailer...
