• Early in 2008, I was contacted by Mark Edwards, the Parisian-based, American producer of The Living saying that he had been commissioned by the Pres. Yushchenko and his wife to research and then produce a definitive documentary about the Holodomor.  He mentioned he had come across our commemorative Gareth Jones website and would like discuss the possibility of our cooperation. Despite both of us living in Europe we eventually met up on a bitterly cold night in February 2008 at the Ukrainian National Home Restaurant in New York; where seemingly he became smitten by Gareth’s heroic story! • Nothing was heard until early June 2008, when he asked if he could come with a researcher to look at our Gareth Jones materials including the ‘famine’ diaries… This he did and we went to Aberystwyth, Wales together where most of Gareth’s archives reside.
