Set between the two World Wars and based on true historical events, Bitter Harvest conveys the untold story of the Holodomor, the genocidal famine engineered by the tyrant Joseph Stalin. The film displays a powerful tale of love, honour, rebellion and survival at a time when Ukraine was forced to adjust to the horrifying territorial ambitions of the burgeoning Soviet Union.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'Bitter Harvest' is a historical drama focusing on the Holodomor famine in Ukraine. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season in any meaningful way. The focus is entirely on war, genocide, survival, and romance set against a historical backdrop outside of the traditional Christmas narrative."
