26 September 2024 at 7pm EDT / 5pm MDT / 4pm PDT
Online event
This is a free webinar open to all.

HREC Education presents a discussion with author Andrea Chalupa, host of the Gaslit Nation podcast, writer and co-producer of the critically acclaimed film Mr. Jones, and author of the newly published historical fiction graphic novel In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones (Oni Press: 3 Sept. 2024, 144 pages; illustrated by Brazilian comic book artist Ivan Rodrigues of Marvel, DC, Dark Horse). Our host and interviewer is graphic novel specialist Anastasia Ulanowicz (University of Florida).

Can the unrelenting power of truth expose one of Stalin’s greatest crimes to a world that refuses to bear witness? In 1933 Soviet Ukraine, bright-eyed young journalist Gareth Jones ran into the quintessential quandary of all journalists: the value of truth and the sacrifices one is willing to make to disclose it, especially when it is subject to manipulation, coercion, and written by rulers who deal harshly with those who defy their authority. Jones’ commitment to truth was heroic as he sought to understand the underpinning of Russia’s mass economic gains and military spending but was stonewalled in Moscow. In Ukraine he uncovered suffering, conflict, and the active concealment of the death by starvation of millions in the Holodomor under the Soviet regime’s policies, the larger story which first thrust Ukraine into the international spotlight in the years before World War II.

The Canada-Ukraine Foundation is pleased to announce that our portal for funding applications will reopen on their website on September 1st. The intake will be open for one month, and all applications will be reviewed after the intake closes.
