From acclaimed director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), ORWELL: 2+2=5 is the definitive feature-length documentary on visionary author George Orwell. ”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 uses 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. Brilliant, exhilarating and the boldest documentary anyone could make right now.
