Bitter Harvest (2017)
Great movie. Some (((critics))) were predictably very negative about it and gave it unfairly harsh reviews, and the so-called "Chosen" very likely prevented it from being widely shown.
Here's an honest and fair review: http://behindthelensonline.net/site/reviews/bitter-harvest/
The only fault in the movie is not showing Lazar Kaganovich, who was the architect of the Holodomor. Also there was a line by an actor playing a Bolshevik "we know about the famine in Ukraine, and in Kazakhstan, and the famine of the Jews in Belarus". There was no famine among the Jews in Belarus - in fact, the Belarussian Soviet republic didn't exist in 1932, it was the Eastern part of Poland at that time.
Otherwise, it was one of the best historical movies I've seen.
