Plot[edit]
The plot of Bitter Harvest follows two lovers, Max Irons and Samantha Barks, struggling to survive the Holodomor Soviet regime forced famine with their Cossack grain farmer families. Inspired by actual events, Bitter Harvest is set at the time of the Soviet famine of 1932–33.
Production[edit]
The film's producers are Ian Ihnatowycz, Stuart Baird, Chad Barager and Jaye Gazeley. The Executive Producers are Dennis Davidson, Peter D. Graves, and Bill Immerman as well as Richard Bachynsky Hoover being the Executive Producer in Ukraine.
Producer Ian Ihnatowycz stated, "Given the importance of the Holodomor, and that few outside Ukraine knew about this man-made famine because it had been covered up by the Soviets, this chapter of history needed to be told in English on the silver screen for the first time in feature film history."[3]
Filming[edit]
Filming began in Ukraine by November 15, 2013.[4] On February 5, 2014 Variety reported that the shoot had just ended in Kiev.[1] In early 2014, post-production continued at London's Pinewood Studios, using the official James Bond filming tank for under-water filming. Skyfall editor Stuart Baird and SFX teams worked on the film in post production.
