Moog Music shared this profile of Academy Award-winning composer and synthesist Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”, “Gone Girl”) and his latest score, for the documentary Almost Holy.

Almost Holy tells the story of Gennadiy Mohknenko, a Ukrainian pastor who has taken up the fight against child homelessness by forcibly abducting street kids and bringing them to his private rehabilitation center.
