Orwell 2+2=5

From Academy Award-nominated director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, Orwell 2+2=5 crafts a definitive portrait of the writer alongside an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future. Seamlessly weaving historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern-day footage, Peck's documentary explores the eternal relevance of one of literature's greatest writers, and how his work is still defining the current social and political climate. Drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realize, Orwell 2+2=5 champions Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future.
