During the class, students are offered to watch the educational film “Covering the Holodomor: Memory Eternal” with further discussion. The film focuses on the issue of media responsibility in covering and concealing human rights violations. The history of the Holodomor, as a lesson in history, tells us how the murder of 7 million Ukrainians was unnoticed in the world in the 1930s, and in the next 50 years, as a result of official denials and journalistic lies.
The objectives of this interactive lesson are:
To teach to decode propaganda in media texts;
