'Hunger for Truth' shows the power of truth telling in the face of disinformation. The feature length documentary tells the story of Rhea Clyman, a young Canadian reporter who traversed the starving Soviet heartland when Stalin's man made famine was ravaging Ukraine. The film interweaves Clyman's truth telling trip during the 1930's with today's conflict in eastern Ukraine, focusing on a forgotten prisoner of war.

Hunger for Truth

They took on a powerful autocrat and won Ukraine's Maidan Revolution by putting their lives on the line in Kiev's main square. But that was only the first battle of the young idealists of Generation Maidan. Now they are battling corrupt oligarchs and bureaucrats in the capital and pro Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. From the first days of the protest a team of Ukrainian filmmakers called Babylon'13 volunteered to capture history in the making on their DSLRs. While the smoke and emotions were still smoldering, Director Andrew Tkach interviewed medics, musicians, self-defense volunteers, civic activists and torture victims who appeared in Babylon's rushes. The front-line footage and interviews with young members of Generation Maidan are woven together to tell an unforgettable story.
