|
Serhiy Bukovsky’s feature documentary The Living, 2008 won the Grand Prix of the International Media North South Forum in Geneva, Switzerland. [The Living] “gives voice to the last survivors of the terrible famine in Ukraine between 1932-1933. The film puts Stalin's use of famine as a weapon in perspective. A true cinematic vision and the discerning eye of the author, with a strong narrative and rare testimony; a hidden history which obliges us to stay vigilant," emphasized the jury presided by the director Daniel Schweizer.
