"Orwell: 2+2=5," A Searing Political Documentary Film on Writer George Orwell

Join us for the documentary film "Orwell: 2+2=5," a riveting story that follows the life and career of British writer George Orwell and shows how his political observations are still relevant today, particularlly the lessons from his dystopian novel "1984."

The Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus is that it's "a dense, urgent and unapologetically blunt documentary that offers a chillingly relevant examination of totalitarianism's enduring appeal and the societal conditions that enable it." They gave it an impressive 84% rating. Recently released, we'll be one of the first audiences in Florida to see it. Afterward we can go to a nearby casual restaurant.

The film as a whole is narrated via Orwell’s words, often laid over video clips from current human-rights atrocities happening all over the world and different television and film adaptations of "1984."

The Stonzek is an intimate 60-seat black box theater with an extra-large viewing screen and HD projection. It's a great place for movies and snacks are available.
