Orwell: 2+2=5

This documentary film is a visually striking and thought-provoking exploration of George Orwell's life and work, weaving together archival footage, cinematic references, and modern-day interviews to craft a compelling portrait of one of the 20th century's most visionary authors. Through clips from Orwell's own writings, films, and newsreels, Raoul Peck examines how early 20th-century authoritarianism continues to echo in contemporary life, with devastating consequences for democracy and public liberties. Featuring Damian Lewis as the voice of George Orwell, this film is a searingly relevant examination of totalitarianism's enduring appeal and a testament to Orwell's prophetic vision, which has become increasingly prescient in recent years.
