Mr. Jones2019
The truth can't be hidden forever
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.

A subplot about George Orwell is perhaps surplus to requirements, but otherwise the film is a striking, efficient political thriller.
我看到的第一部直接表现1932-33年前苏联乌克兰大饥荒史实的历史电影，导演是和我们同时代的48年出生的波兰女导演，她的作品一直关注历史现实。仅从这两点，我就该给影片高分！ 历史真相不能忘记，更不应埋没。 该片描写的第一个在西方世界揭露大饥荒的英国记者琼斯先生，揭示真相后，不仅得罪了苏联，在西方世界政客中也不被认同，被社会讥讽为“疯子”，之后他在中国热河采访时，年仅30岁就遇刺身亡，猜测是前苏联特工干的，但无定论。由于史料限制，影片对主人公开掘得并不深入，是作品的不足之处。
Is it conceivable that Holland’s bleak, murky, and instructive film could prompt a change of heart in the current Russian establishment, or even a confession of crimes past? Not a chance.
