Storyline

Ten years ago, British photographer Samara Pearce accidentally learned an incredible story about her family: her great-grandfather, Austrian Alexander Wienerberger, witnessed the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932–1933. Feeling a connection to her great-grandfather, 90 years after the Holodomor, Samara embarks on a creative expedition to the Kharkiv region to take her own photographs of the genocide of Ukrainians that continues to this day.
