From rogerebert.com:

"With actor Damian Lewis bringing Orwell’s voice to life, Peck’s “Orwell: 2+2=5” takes a nonlinear journey through the writer’s life, from his early upbringing and the start of his political awareness and anti-colonialist feelings to writing what would be his last book on an island through the worst of tuberculosis. Peck engages with several ideas found in Orwell’s work, such as the harm the British Empire inflicted on its colonies and the use of disinformation to undermine democracy, and finds present-day examples, including how ethnic cleansing is justified by various world leaders and how AI and Newspeak can manipulate audiences. Through a narrative culled together from Orwell’s books, essays, letters, and journals, and archival footage from adaptations of Orwell’s works and news footage, Peck echoes the warnings Orwell left readers with decades ago."
