Interweaving archival adaptations of 1984 with striking images from the 21st century, Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) masterfully dissects George Orwell’s prescient vision and its urgent lessons for today. Exploring Orwell’s final months and his last, most famous novel, the film traces the origins of concepts like Doublethink, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, and Big Brother — ideas that remain disturbingly relevant in our own time.
