Director Serhiy Bukovsky and scriptwriter/producer Victoria Bondar will be
at the Museum to present and discuss "The Living" ("Zhyvi"), their
recently released documentary film about the Holodomor, the 1932-33
Ukrainian famine-genocide. They will be introduced by Dr. Yuri Shevchuk,
head of the Ukrainian Film Club of Columbia University. The Museum is
grateful to Dr. Shevchuk for organizing this film screening.

The title of the film refers to the people who, as children, lived through
the horrors of the Holodomor. Many of them are only now beginning to talk
about what they experienced – how all their families' possessions were
taken away, how entire villages were dying, and how they managed to
survive. Among the narrators is Viktor Yushchenko, president of Ukraine,
whose mother was a Holodomor survivor. In one scene, he is shown at the
burial site of Holodomor victims in his native village of Khuruzhivka in
the Sumy oblast.

"The Living" also recounts the story of Gareth Jones, the British
investigative journalist whose reports on the Holodomor were largely
ignored in the West.

The Museum's film series is funded in part by the New York City Department
of Cultural Affairs.
