Agnieszka Holland’s thriller, set on the eve of WWII, sees Hitler’s rise to power and Stalin’s Soviet propaganda machine pushing their “utopia” to the Western world. Meanwhile, ambitious young journalist Gareth Jones (James Norton) travels to Moscow to uncover the truth behind the propaganda, where he gets a tip that could expose an international conspiracy — one that could cost him and his informant their lives. Jones goes on a life-or-death journey to uncover the truth behind the façade that would later inspire George Orwell’s seminal book Animal Farm.
