Mr. Jones
In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones travels to Ukraine, where he experiences the horrors of a famine. Everywhere he goes he meets henchmen of the Soviet secret service who are determined to prevent news about the catastrophe from getting out. Stalin’s forced collectivisation of agriculture has resulted in misery and ruin—the policy is tantamount to mass murder. From TMDB

They refused to let us show their articles covering up Stalin’s famine in Ukraine. youtu.be/wtWSyFNT9qY?...

Watch my film Mr. Jones that provides haunting historical context of Russia's genocide of Ukraine, aided by Western corruption in 1933, much like today. It's available on streaming, Kanopy, try your local library www.nytimes.com/2020/06/18/m...
positive · AI labelView post →a movie about him called Mr. Jones (which is a good if very depressing watch. Duranty turns up in it). A separate reporter for the Guardian broke the news also about that time but he did so anonymously. Jones had his name attached to the story.

Mr Jones, the film about the Holodomor, Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine, directed by three time Academy Award nominee Agnieszka Holland, starring James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, Peter Sarsgaard played on the BBC and France's Art.

Orwell made it a symbol of gaslighting in 1984. Watch my film Mr Jones on the NYT history of serving dictators: www.samuelgoldwynfilms.com/mr-jones/
positive · AI labelView post →Mr. Jones, my Holodomor film, was recently on state TV in Romania. They know the stakes of the war by almost having their own democracy hijacked in a manipulated election. Don't underestimate Romania: they're the only country that killed their dictator in '89.

The Kremlin wants the Russian Empire back.

neutral · AI labelView post →Genocides begin with propaganda. That's a lesson of my film Mr. Jones. The dictators invest in expanding their propaganda while journalism to fight it gets slashed and starved in the West.

Gareth Jones broke the story that Soviets tried to hide and other journalists denied (We see you NYT and Walter Duranty).

neutral · AI labelView post →If you’re curious about the soviet-russian mindset of Ukraine, you may be interested in a film which has just recently been released called “Mr Jones.” It goes back to the Holodomor & the stealing of grain to fund Stalin’s mobilisation. It’s a mirror reflection of what is happening today.

positive · AI labelView post →Good luck with your new film Mr Jones. I recently rewatched the Future Shock! documentary with my kids. From what I’ve read so far, you’ve made this film with the same indie spirit as the comics. We are slowly learning that process matters as much as product, the how as much as the what. Best wishes

neutral · AI labelView post →The 2019 movie Mr Jones tells the story of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones, remembered for his reporting on the 1932–33 Holodomor and legendary because, despite fierce resistance, could not be dissuaded from telling the truth. The evidence he provided inspired Orwell's novel Animal Farm.

Soviet incompetence and corruption enabled it. Watch Mr. Jones, a 2019 movie to see parallels btwn then & now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Jon...
neutral · AI labelView post →Way to bastardize a historical building. See the movie Mr. Jones. Stalin built a big, beautiful facade of prosperity in Moscow while starving millions in Ukraine. Americans are yet 'all' starving, but he'll be sitting in that monstrosity while citizens go hungry. #AmericansAreFucked
neutral · AI labelView post →Putin's idol Stalin starved the people of Ukraine in the 1930s. A UK journalist found out the truth and exposed Stalin. Putin would do this to them if he is given the chance. Watch the movie Mr. Jones, which is a docudrama that inspired Orwell's book, Animal Farm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o7V...
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, and it was so cool how they used Gunnar Sønsteby telling his story to school children, which he also did in real life, as a way to frame the story. Good to show regular people choosing to do the right thing no matter what. A similar movie I like is Mr. Jones.
