Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harrowing historical thriller that documents one man's courageous witness to mass atrocity while shadowed by state apparatus determined to silence him. Relentless and haunting, it captures the moral urgency of bearing witness when truth is weaponized and suppressed.
