Mr. Jones
The truth can't be hidden forever
Directed by Agnieszka Holland
Produced by Film Produkcja, Crab Apple Films
A historically grounded thriller about a journalist's dangerous pursuit of truth amid Soviet oppression and mass starvation, driven by moral urgency and surveillance dread.
In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones travels to Ukraine, where he experiences the horrors of a famine. Everywhere he goes he meets henchmen of the Soviet secret service who are determined to prevent news about the catastrophe from getting out. Stalin’s forced collectivisation of agriculture has resulted in misery and ruin—the policy is tantamount to mass murder.
