Dir. Agnieszka Holland | 2019, 119min
With James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, Peter Sarsgaard
Based on a true story that helped inspire George Orwell’s Animal Farm, Agnieszka Holland’s biographical thriller sees Hitler’s rise to power and Stalin’s Soviet propaganda machine pushing their “utopia” to the Western world. An ambitious young journalist, Gareth Jones (Norton), travels to Moscow to uncover the truth behind the propaganda, where he gets a tip that could expose an international conspiracy—and cost him and his informant their lives.
Presented in partnership with the Polish Cultural Institute New York and co-programmed by Tomek Smolarski
