      Walter Duranty: I read your article. Do you think Hitler really believes the things he said?

      Gareth Jones: Lots of people say he's deranged.

      Walter Duranty: What is "deranged" in a deranged world, hmm?

    All the terror, horror and atrocities of the war and its effects on Ukraine...
    All the terror, horror and atrocities of the war and its effects on Ukraine, the Holodomor (Famine of Terror or the Great Famine), including empty villages, starving people, cannibalism and the forced harvest of grain, a beautiful but belated homage to the Lord Gareth Jones (journalist), very sad, appropriate for the current war Russia x Ukraine, a real story, Portraits of War, told simply and efficiently, as he wanted and reports at the beginning of the film...
