Gareth Jones (James Norton) is an ambitious young Welsh journalist, planning to tackle his next big story - a rapid modernization of the Soviet Union. Following his interview with Stalin in Moscow, he meets a British journalist, Ada Brooks. She makes him see that the truth about the Stalinist regime is brutally muffled by Soviet censors. Overhearing about a great famine in the USSR, Jones sets out on a lonely journey through Ukraine. He witnesses the tragedy of “Holodomor” and describes it after his return to London. The publication is silenced and its authenticity questioned by Western journalists, who remain under pressure from the Kremlin. Despite death threats, Gareth continues his fight for the truth, sharing his discoveries with a young, aspiring writer - George Orwell.
