Synopsis

Detroit

A police raid in Detroit in 1967 results in one of the largest citizens' uprisings in the history of the United States.

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.
