March 1933. A young Welsh journalist, Gareth Jones, reaches Ukraine clandestinely. The region was then undergoing a totally unprecedented famine. Kept secret and decided by Stalin, this famine is a political act. After he returns Jones warns the world, but the Soviet manipulations remain stronger. This film tells the struggle of investigation against institutions. This is the story of a mass crime and lie.
