1. George Orwell completes his last but most important novel, 1984. ORWELL: 2+2=5 delves deep into Orwell's final months and visionary work to explore the roots of the crucial and disturbing concepts the author revealed to the world in his dystopian masterpiece... Ambiguity, Thoughtful crime, Newspeak, the ever-present specter of Big Brother... disturbing socio-political truths that resonate even more strongly today.

From Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning director Raoul Peck comes ORWELL: 2+2=5, a comprehensive feature-length documentary about the visionary author George Orwell, made in exclusive collaboration with the Orwell Estate. "He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past...," Orwell wrote in the novel 1984. Today, the "Newspeak" of authoritarian power structures is alive and well and found in unexpected places, from the rise of AI chatbots to the Russian propaganda machine, from the marketing networks of the commercial branches of the metaverse to the political banning of books in the southern United States. Peck's film uses the life, work and legacy of George Orwell as a non-conformist iconoclastic writer to disrupt the signals of algorithms that have gone out of control and threaten to close our minds to an unprecedented extent in the name of personal freedom.
