Old Believers documents a strongly religious community where time seems to stand still, but does it?

During the 17th century, Russian immigrants of a minority faith settled in a remote area of Romania’s Danube Delta, allowing them to preserve their original language and beliefs, but yet the people enjoy modern conveniences.
