- Ukraine 1933, Seeds of Hunger
E1Ukraine 1933, Seeds of HungerGareth Jones, a young Welsh journalist, smuggled into Ukraine in March 1933. The region then experienced a completely unprecedented famine, both in terms of its scale and its causes. This famine, kept secret and decided by Stalin, is political. On his return, the journalist alerts the world but lies and Soviet manipulation triumph. This is the story of the power of inquiry and speech against the state apparatus. This is the story of a mass lie and crime. - Village of Death: Oradour-sur-Glane 1944E2
