The educational release includes selectable 26 min. and 52 min. lengths on one DVD for use by educators in schools and universities in their teaching curriculum about the Famine Genocide and other 20th century genocides. Depending on the length of the instructor’s class time, the appropriate length can be chosen to fit in with their schedule.

“I am delighted the educational release of Genocide Revealed has now been completed and ready for use in high school and university curricula”, stated Luhovy.

The documentary is based on eyewitness and survivors’ accounts, commentaries by historians, declassified, formally-secret Soviet archival documents, and rare historical footage in exposing the Kremlin’s policy of genocide against the Ukrainian nation. The film focuses on the 1932-33 man-made famine engineered by Stalin’s regime, and places the genocide in a broader context, as one of the major efforts to stop all opposition to Soviet rule and bring Ukraine under total Soviet control.

The original 75 min. Genocide Revealed won 12 international awards, including Best Historical Film, Best Documentary and Best Direction. It is narrated by actor Graham Greene with voice-overs by Jill Hennessy and Lubomir Mykytiuk.
