Based on real events, this dramatic thriller chronicles a British investigative journalist as he travels deep into the Soviet Union to uncover an international conspiracy. His life-or-death journey inspires George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Starring James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, Peter Sarsgaard and Kenneth Cranham, this is a true story of how the New York Times and the other intellectual elites in the 1930s defended “one of the most evil regimes in history”.
“A bold and heartfelt movie with a real Lean-sian sweep.” (Peter Bradshaw – The Guardian)
