The 1932-33 Famine in Ukraine

This award-winning film documents the tragic consequences of the forgotten holocaust in Ukraine. While Stalin was selling millions of tons of wheat to Western markets, people in Ukraine were dying of brutal starvation at a rate of 25,000 a day. Up to 10 million innocent victims perished in this famine brought on by ruthless decree.

This film probes the tragic consequences of Ukraine's national struggle for greater cultural and political autonomy in the 1920s and 1930s. Through rare archival footage, the results of Stalin's lethal countermeasures unfold in harrowing detail and include moving eyewitness accounts of survivors as well as commentary by noted journalists and public officials.
