Orwell: 2+2=5
Directed by Raoul Peck
Produced by Anonymous Content, Closer Media
A cerebral, visually layered documentary that uses Orwell's life and writings as a lens to examine authoritarianism, surveillance, and the prescience of dystopian thought in contemporary politics.
George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck interweaves clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and modern-day footage to craft not only a portrait of the writer, but a fresh take on how prophetic his work has become.
