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 undertake a routine news investigation, but attempting to uncover the truth about the Ukrainian famine under government cover-ups quickly turned into a life-and-death quest. His efforts were thwarted not only by Soviet censors but also by Western journalists who were sympathetic to Stalin's regime, most notably 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, due to many intellectuals' sympathy for the Soviet regime, his reports were unpopular. Duranty, who concealed the facts of the famine, also faced criticism later; his Pulitzer Prize for his ongoing coverage of the Soviet Union was referred to by the New York Times as an award for "Guilty With an Explanation."
