Beyond Babi Yar was inspired by the story of John Pollick’s family. His grandparents’ families were among the shooting victims in Ukraine. The purpose of the film is to educate viewers about these forgotten Holocaust victims and their neglected graves, and inspire action regarding them. After 80 years, it is time to finally address this enormous historical and humanitarian injustice in an open and comprehensive way, and begin to restore to the millions of shooting victims the dignity and respect they have been so long denied.
