The Canadian film is the first English language feature film depicting Ukraine's man-made famine, the 1932–33 Holodomor.

Holodomor (Ukrainian for 'extermination by hunger') is the international term for the man-made famine caused by Stalin's agricultural collectivisation across the USSR in 1930–34, onto which Stalin forced a brutal, even deeper famine on Ukraine between 1932–33. This caused the deaths of at least four million innocent Ukrainians (scholarly estimates vary).

In 1998, Ukraine's President decreed that the fourth Saturday in November would each year be a commemoration of this tragedy. It is recognised across the world, including by the United Nations and UNESCO. 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟯 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆
