## Description

Hatred – Murder of the Innocent is another big–budget, highly anticipated production that tackles the Volhynian tragedy of 1943, in which up to 60,000 Poles were murdered by Ukrainian nationalists under German occupation, and up to 20,000 Ukrainians were killed in revenge attacks. Controversial enough to be banned in Ukraine, Hatred won 11 Polish Film awards and was nominated for a further 6.Despite being in love with a Ukrainian boy, called Petro, Polish girl Zosia is forced into marrying a wealthy widower, Maciej. When the war begins, Maciej is conscripted to the Polish Army to fight against the Germans in the September Campaign. When the campaign is lost, Maciej and other survivors try to return to their homes. In the meantime, Zosia gets pregnant by Petro but wants Maciej to believe that the child is his. Are the was ranges around them can Zoysia protect herself and her son against the was raging around them?-------------"Wo y (2016). An epic period piece. Set over the course of six years, the story mostly takes place during World War Two in a small village in the eponymous region of Volhynia - a village inhabited by Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews. The life of this small community is then torn apart by history. In the spring of 1943, a wave of ethnic cleansing sweeps over the region. In a sea of brutality and hate, the film's protagonist Zosia G owacka tries to save the lives of her children and her own. Despite being in love with a Ukrainian boy from the same village, the Polish girl named Zosia is forced into marrying a wealthy widower. Soon World War II begins and ethnic tensions arise. Amidst the war chaos Zosia tries to survive."

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Harrowing-magnificent.
*by B***S on 18 April 2019*

‘Wolyn’ (Volhynia) aka ‘Hatred’ covers the period 1938-42 in the disputed rural southern Polish/western Ukrainian provinces as they descended into an abyss of vicious, genocidal, inter-communal violence as ethnic Ukrainians and Poles vied for supremacy under both Soviet and Nazi occupation, as seen through the eyes of a young polish woman. It depicts the nexus of racial, ideological, religious, linguistic, class and ethnic hatreds unleashed by the invading totalitarian powers leading to the most disgusting and barbaric mutual slaughter of civilians by other civilians and armed militias and it does so in an unflinching, unbiased and historically accurate way (as far as I know and understand the history), though other commenters here would doubtless disagree- those who literally still have a particular ethno-political ‘axe to grind’. That in itself tells us something of the enduring animosity that still exists as a result of the Second World War in Eastern Europe mostly triggered under the jaundiced and manipulative eye of the Nazi occupiers who were themselves busy mass-murdering Jews at the same time (as depicted).The beautifully bucolic opening sequence sets the scene for the later descent into madness and savagery, where no one, neither Poles nor Ukrainians, emerges as entirely free of guilt or degradation as the violence spirals into a depraved and vicious cycle- the atrocities depicted in this film are not shown as explicit, as gratuitous or as (porno)graphically as they could have been, which was a wise directorial decision, but they are nonetheless, unspeakably horrible.‘Wolyn’ poses the question as to how it is possible that nationalism or religion can be both the cause and the cure of such extreme tribalism, when people’s identities come to be solely defined by simply not being the ‘other’ and, through the agency of violence, destroy anything inherently honourable, decent or good in themselves as they wade through the blood and viscera of their enemies, yet still see themselves as ‘noble’ or ‘just’. The only real innocents to emerge from the bloodbath were the children and those who maintained their humanity against a tidal wave of lethal brutality, often at the cost of their own lives.As for the rest, suffice to say- ‘Man is a mad animal’.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Disjointed and confusing.
*by R***A on 6 July 2018*

In giving this review 4 stars, I was being generous as there is no 3.5 stars rating. The movie is disjointed. Many of the scenes are much too dark. Not being familiar with local culture it was difficult to understand most of the time who were the Ukrainians, the Poles and the Jews and who were fighting who.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Harrowing and sickening to watch!!
*by D***A on 9 January 2024*

Ukrainian version of genocide on their neighbours, 'friends' and even mixed marriages, children, babies and even livestock which belonged to the hated Polish people who had lived in peace for decades along with the Ukrainians. They wanted to wipe out every last drop of Polish blood and existence with unimaginable brutality and cruelty. Their savagery and barbarity, ferocity as they slaughtered the Polish population of which the vast majority were women and children, (men were away fighting the Germans) with any implement to hand was inhuman in its viciousness.It is a great pity that this 'event' of genocide in Poland's history is not widely known!!But the Polish people remember .
