Gareth Jones, a young Welsh journalist, smuggled into Ukraine in March 1933. The region then experienced a completely unprecedented famine, both in terms of its scale and its causes. This famine, kept secret and decided by Stalin, is political. On his return, the journalist alerts the world but lies and Soviet manipulation triumph. This is the story of the power of inquiry and speech against the state apparatus. This is the story of a mass lie and crime.

In response to French Resistance activities in the area and the D-Day landing of June 6th, 1944, a German SS division arrived in the small French village of Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10th, 1944, and massacred 643 innocent civilians. It was one of the worst atrocities of WWII.
