Join us for a special FREE screening of “Mr. Jones”, courtesy of the Philadelphia Film Center. “Mr. Jones” is a biographical thriller film based on the true story of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones who in 1933 travels to the Soviet Union and uncovers the truth about the ‘Holodomor – the devastating famine in Ukraine caused by Stalin in which over 3.5 million Ukrainians were starved to death. 
 
Three waves of Holodomors in 1920s, 1930s, and 1946 in Ukraine were the beginning of the genocide of the Ukrainian nation that you all can witness today. "Mr. Jones" will really help you to see the historical roots of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
