Overview

Summary: Documentary of the Ukrainian "terror famine" of 1932-33 which caused the deaths of seven million people. Includes interviews with survivors and scholars supplemented by rare photographic evidence. Provides insight into one of the 20th century's least known but most vicious genocides. Shows that the "terror famine" was deliberately created by the Soviet government as part of a decades-long effort by Stalin to destroy the Ukrainian peasantry, who resisted the forced collectivization of their lands.
