A good movie about UKRAINE
It was shown at very few theatres so you may not have heard of it, but it was made in 2017.
The picture above is very unappealing and the movie received a lot of negative reviews, but Bryan and I liked it.
You should be able to get it at your library. If not, ask the librarians to purchase it.
Information online:
82% of Google Users liked this film BUT it was a financial disaster. It made only $600,000 at the box office.
According to Wikipedia, a Ukrainian Canadian investor, Ian Ihnatowycz, financed the $21 million film in its entirety.
One Logline: "A young man's life is changed forever when the burgeoning Soviet Union's ambition leads to Stalin's army spilling into rural Ukraine."
A better Logline: Set in 1930s Ukraine, as Stalin advances the ambitions of communists in the Kremlin, young artist Yuri battles to save his lover Natalka from the Holodomor, the death-by-starvation program that ultimately killed millions of Ukrainians.

Khlib (Ukrainian Sour Rye Bread)

Zhitny
Khlib takes 3 days to make because, first,
you must make the sour dough starter.
But it’s
therapeutic. . .
And it
makes two big loaves . . .
crusty on
the outside; tender and delicious inside.
Serve with pickled herring for a Christmas Eve appetizer!
Smachnoho!
