Critic Quotes:

"This is a brilliant assembly that might enlighten those still resistant to the notion that we’re careening towards an end to democracy."

"An urgent political call to action, Orwell: 2+2=5 uses the work of the eponymous author to present a harrowing argument that today’s society is looking more and more like the fascistic dystopias depicted in Orwell’s science fiction creations."

"Drawing on the visionary writer’s diary, it deftly weaves his prophetic warning about the insidious creep of fascism in the face of lazy apathy with the stark reality of where we are now in ways that will haunt you."

"An urgent, indispensable film for our times."

Movie Description

"Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5": Biography/Documentary/History

From Academy Award®-nominated and BAFTA-winning director, Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), Orwell is the definitive feature-length documentary on visionary author George Orwell, with the exclusive cooperation of the Orwell Estate. ‍"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past...," wrote Orwell in his novel, 1984. Today, the "newspeak" of authoritarian rule is alive and well and in unexpected places, from the rise of AI Chatbot to the Russian propaganda machine, from the marketing webs of commercial metaverses to the political banning of books in the Southern United States. Peck's "Orwell" will use George Orwell's life, work and legacy as a maverick iconoclastic writer to jam the signals of the algorithms gone rogue which, in the name of personal freedom, threaten to close our minds to a greater possibility. 2025 119 Minutes
