The film tells a little-known story. In 1933, an ambitious young Welsh journalist, Gareth Jones, traveled to the Soviet Union and uncovered the horrifying reality behind the myth of a communist utopia. This led him to embark on a routine news investigation, but trying to unearth the truth about the Ukrainian famine under government cover-up quickly turned into a life-and-death quest. His efforts were not only thwarted by Soviet censorship but also obstructed by Western journalists who were sympathetic to the Stalin regime, the most notable of whom was Walter Duranty, the head of the New York Times' Moscow bureau at the time. In real life, Jones was the first journalist to report on the Soviet famine of 1932-1933 in the Western media. However, his reports were unpopular due to the sympathy many intellectuals held for the Soviet regime. Duranty, who concealed the facts of the famine, later faced criticism, and the Pulitzer Prize he received for his ongoing reporting on the Soviet Union was referred to by the New York Times as an award for which they felt "Guilty With an Explanation."
