IFI - Documentary about George Orwell

Paid Event - Ticket (IFI)

Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5, directed by Raoul Peck (I am not your Negro, 2016), re-examines the life, work, and legacy of George Orwell through the lens of today’s turbulent political climate. Blending archival material with Peck’s signature essayistic style, the film draws powerful parallels between Orwell’s warnings about authoritarianism and the rise of misinformation, surveillance, and populism in the 21st century. As Peck interrogates the distortion of truth and the weaponisation of language, Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 becomes both a searing critique of contemporary politics and a call to vigilance against the erosion of reality.
