Question: Who directed the 2017 romantic-action film set in Soviet Ukraine in the early 1930s during the Great Famine?
Context: The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор ) is the name of the famine that ravaged Soviet Ukraine in 1932–1933.  Estimates for the total number of casualties within Soviet Ukraine range between 2.2 million and 10 million. The Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA) is an independent, non-partisan educational and research organization.  Established in 1986 after the Civil Liberties Commission (affiliated with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress) was disbanded, its members – all of whom are volunteers – have been particularly active in championing the cause of recognition, restitution and reconciliation with respect to Canada's first national internment operations, helping secure a redress settlement in 2008 with the Government of Canada along with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Taras Shevchenko Foundation (see InternmentCanada.ca).  They have also challenged allegations about "Nazi war criminals" hiding in Canada, have exposed the presence in Canada of veterans of the NKVD/SMERSH/KGB, have helped raise public awareness about Soviet and Communist war crimes and crimes against humanity (in particular about the genocidal Great Famine of 1932–1933 in Soviet Ukraine, the "Holodomor"), and have made numerous public representations, articulating the interests of Canada's Ukrainian community.  The first chairman of the CLC/UCCLA was John B. Gregorovich, a lawyer.  The current chairman is Roman Zakaluzny; the immediate past president was Professor Lubomyr Luciuk. During the military occupation of modern-day Ukraine by Nazi Germany, the new territorial divisions of World War II included "Distrikt Galizien" and "Reichskommissariat Ukraine" covering both, the south-eastern territories of the Second Polish Republic and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic across former borders.  Original reasons for collaboration included Ukrainian political aspirations for regaining independence, resurgent nationalism, but also widespread anger and resentment against the Russians over the famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine only a few years earlier.  These sentiments were coupled with rampant racism towards other ethnic groups (such as Jews, Tatars, Roma people, and Poles) as well as the prevailing notions of anti-Semitism.  However, the absence of Ukrainian autonomy under the Nazis, mistreatment by the occupier, and the deportation of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians as slave laborers, soon led to a dramatic change in the attitude of some collaborators. The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомо́р ) ; derived from морити голодом, "to kill by starvation"), also known as the Terror-Famine and Famine-Genocide in Ukraine, and—before the widespread use of the term "Holodomor," and sometimes currently—also referred to as the Great Famine, and The Ukrainian Genocide of 1932–33 was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine in 1932 and 1933 that killed an officially estimated 7 million to 10 million people.  It was part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–33, which affected the major grain-producing areas of the country. Holodomor: Voices of Survivors is a 2015 Canadian short documentary film by filmmaker Ariadna Ochrymovych about the 1932–33 Holodomor famine in Soviet Ukraine.

Ochrymovych conducted over 100 interviews across Canada to produce the film. Magadheera (English: "Great Warrior" ) is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language romantic-action film, written by K. V.

The film stars Ram Charan and Kajal Aggarwal, while Dev Gill and Srihari appear in prominent roles.

They all die before their wishes are fulfilled and are reborn after 400 years, at which point the warrior kills the scheming cousin with the support of the reformed emperor and wins over the princess. The Famine Song is a song sung by some Ulster loyalists in Northern Ireland and Scotland and is normally directed at Catholics and, in Scotland, Irish people, those of Irish descent or those with perceived affiliations to Ireland.  It is also sung by fans of Scottish football club Rangers due to rival Celtic's Irish roots.  Set to the tune of "The John B. Sails" popularised by Carl Sandburg, the lyrics of the song make reference to the 1840s' Great Famine of Ireland.  The song is often heard at loyalist marches in Northern Ireland despite many loyalists being descended from refugees fleeing famine in Scotland, and the Great Famine being an event that impacted the whole of Ireland.  The Famine Song has received criticism due to the racist and sectarian nature of its lyrics and, in some cases, those singing it have received criminal convictions.
