Acerca de esta película

1933. Gareth Jones (James Norton) es un joven periodista ambicioso que ganó fama después de su informe sobre ser el primer periodista extranjero en volar con Hitler. Ahora, intrigado por la "utopía" soviética, Jones viaja a Moscú, donde conoce a Ada Brooks (Vanessa Kirby), una periodista británica, quien le revela que la verdad detrás del régimen está siendo violentamente reprimida. Al escuchar rumores de hambruna inducida por el gobierno, mantenida en secreto por los censores soviéticos, Jones viaja clandestinamente a Ucrania, donde es testigo de las atrocidades de la hambruna provocada por el hombre: millones de personas mueren de hambre. Deportado a Londres, Jones publica un artículo que revela sus hallazgos, rápidamente negados por los periodistas occidentales en Moscú bajo la presión del Kremlin, incluido el periodista ganador del premio Pulitzer Walter Duranty (Peter Sarsgaard). A medida que aumentan las amenazas de muerte, Jones tiene que luchar por la verdad. Conociendo a un joven George Orwell, comparte sus hallazgos... ayudando a inspirar la novela seminal Animal Farm.

This movie stayed with me for days as i am an american living in ukraine and trying to learn the history of this beautiful place. After watching i googled this event to see if this story is accurate, and sadly it is. The academics spend their time arguing how many were killed and died from starvation but if it was 3 million or 20 million, it was a holocaust that is rarely taught or spoken of in the US, but i am teaching my ukrainian granddaughter about it!

This movie was absolutely horrible. I don't know how people can get gratification off of so much pain. I myself should have never watched this film. It may have been sexual but I can hear it was horrible.

This movie truly stayes with you. It is raw and forthcoming as is Mr.Jones. A true depiction of a time seemed to have been ignored by the masses , and this movie makes you ask why? Holodomor is an event not many people know about. 6 million people lost their lives in Ukraine. Mr. Jones is a pulsating remembrance to those whom families were stripped of everything in the 1930s man made genocidal famine.
