FAMINE in UKRAINE, a film

  

Unrelentting cold and hunger . . .  beyond the personal agony of such a death, can you imagine the horror of watching it happen to your loved ones? 

When Bryan and I started watching the film, MR. JONES, we had no idea that it was about the Holodomyr in Ukraine.    

There's a heartbreaking scene in it that I will never forget . . . people lying dead along a road are being collected by a slowly moving wagon while further ahead a child is crying piteously beside a dead woman.   The wagon stops; the dead woman is heaved onto it . . . and then the child is tossed in as well. 

 I am in awe of the courage and determination of journalists like Gareth Jones who risk everything in order to tell the world the truth.
