Harvest of Despair - Part 4

The great famine of 1932-33, in Ukraine, took the lives of millions of people - yet, it is little known in the rest of the world.  Was it deliberately engineered, to keep Ukraine within the Soviet Union, as some scholars, survivors and historians assert? 

The film "Harvest of Despair," presented by the Ukrainian Famine Research Committee in Canada, answers "yes" to the above question.  The issue, however, remains hotly debated.
