Mr. Jones (2019) - Full Movie

In 1933, Gareth Jones is an ambitious young journalist who has gained some renown for his interview with Adolf Hitler. Thanks to his connections to Lloyd George, the former British prime minister, he is able to get official permission to travel to the Soviet Union. Jones intends to try to interview Stalin and to find out more about the Soviet Union's economic expansion and its apparently-successful five-year development plan.

Jones is restricted to Moscow but jumps his train and travels unofficially to Ukraine to discover evidence of the Holodomor, including empty villages, starving people, cannibalism and the enforced collection of grain. On his return to Britain, he struggles to get his story taken seriously. The film ends by recording that Jones died while reporting in Inner Mongolia with a guide who was secretly connected the Soviet secret service.

The film speaks to today’s problems and concerns in a very powerful way. In this era of the fake news and alternative facts, “Mr. Jones” sends out a consequential message about the importance of truth and the responsibility of the media to tell it, despite the never-vanishing desire of authoritarian regimes and unscrupulous politicians to hide the truth about their actions.
