"Genocide Revealed:
Holodomor, the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932-1933" on Sunday, May 6 at

"Genocide Revealed" is a gripping documentary on the 1932-1933 Famine
Genocide in Soviet Ukraine when millions were deliberately starved to
death by Stalin's regime; it also describes the accompanying
destruction of Ukraine's religious, academic, cultural and political
leadership.
The film was produced, directed and edited by award-winning Montreal
filmmaker, Yurij Luhovy. It won numerous awards at US and
international film festivals in 2011, including the Albert Award for
Best Documentary at the Litchfield Hills Film Festival; the "Best
Audience" Award for best historical documentary and the Special
"Eye-Opener" Award at the Film Festival of Colorado; and the Best
Historical Film Award at the Honolulu Film Awards.
Please join us in learning about this forgotten tragedy.
