Based on a true story that inspired George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’. James Norton stars as courageous Welsh journalist Gareth Jones who brought the genocidal famine in Ukraine in the 1930s to the world’s attention.
Part human drama, part conspiracy thriller, Agnieszka Holland’s (‘Europa, Europa’, ‘Pokot’, ‘In Darkness’) bold film channels an eclectic mix of ‘The Third Man’, ‘Hearts of Darkness’ and ‘The Masque of the Red Death’.
★★★★ “A bold and heartfelt movie with a real Lean-ian sweep.” - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
