Summary:
Ukraine in flames: "Across Ukraine's forests and plains the horrors of the German invasion inspired the gathering forces of Ukrainian resistance. Peasants newly delivered from German occupation rebuild their lives, sowing grain across fields freshly cleared of corpses, as surviving peasant women speak bitterly of the crimes committed by Nazi occupiers."--Container. Victory in Soviet Ukraine: "Terror and triumph on the Easter Front are captured as German forces retreat, and fierce combat scenes give way to harrowing revelations--among them the mass graves uncovered at Babi Yar--in regions newly freed from German control. The film also clearly rebukes Stalin for which the director paid dearly."--Container.
