Ten years ago, British photographer Samara Pierce accidentally learned an incredible story about her family: her great-grandfather, Austrian Alexander Wienerberger, witnessed the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933. He took historical photos of starving Kharkiv with his camera, managed to take them as diplomatic mail to Austria, and thus became the main photographer of the Holodomor in Ukraine. Wienerberger wanted the world to know about the genocide of Ukrainians and stop it, but the Austrian engineer was not heard. After finding her great-grandfather's camera and an album with shocking photos from Ukraine, Samara completely rethinks her career as a photographer. Now her career is completely connected to Ukraine, the Holodomor, and the current Russian-Ukrainian war. 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.
