A documentary featuring testimonies from people who remember the 1933 famine in Ukraine.

The Holodomor was a mass-scale, man-made famine organised in the Ukrainian SSR in 1932–1933 by the leadership of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and the government of the USSR. Ukraine was the hardest hit, with millions of people dying of starvation. This famine has been recognised as genocide against the Ukrainian people. According to demographic estimates, the total number of victims of the Holodomor in the Ukrainian SSR is 3–7 million people. According to estimates by the M. Ptukha Institute of Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ukraine’s demographic losses as a result of the Holodomor in 1932–1933 amount to approximately 4.5 million people, including 3.9 million due to excess mortality and a further 600,000 due to a birth deficit.

A film about how the surrogacy industry operates in Ukraine and how the rights of children born to foreign parents are protected.

The film centres on Daisy and Erland, an Estonian couple who paid a Ukrainian clinic €50,000 for a surrogacy programme. Thanks to a surrogate mother from Ukraine, the couple have realised their long-held dream and now have a daughter.

To pay for the programme, the couple took out a loan, which they will be repaying over the next nine years. They had previously tried to use a surrogacy programme, but fell victim to fraudsters and lost €25,000.
