Narrated by Meryl Streep, this documentary examines the Stalinist purges and terror in the Soviet Union during the 1930s and '40s. An estimated twenty million people lost their lives; some in labor camps, others starved in state-induced famine, and many others executed for "crimes against the state." Focusing on Ukraine, this film incorporates historical footage, interviews with witnesses and survivors, and commentary from public officials and historians, including former U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, Roman Szporluk of Harvard University, and Robert Conquest, author of The Great Terror: A Reassessment. |
