Agnieszka Holland brings to the screen the extraordinary untold story of Gareth Jones, an ambitious young Welsh journalist who travelled to the Soviet Union in 1933 and uncovered the appalling truth behind the Soviet “utopia” and Stalin’s regime. Initially a regular news investigation, Jones’ quest quickly turned into a life-or-death journey…
Actor James Norton is excellent as Jones - a contemporary of George Orwell, and widely considered an inspiration for his famous allegory Animal Farm.
