“THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF 2025? Raoul Peck’s ORWELL: 2+2=5 looks at the writer who gave us a modern dystopian classic — and doubles as a portrait of how authoritarianism works that feels way too familiar.”
—Rolling Stone

Director Raoul Peck (I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO) uses the life and work of George Orwell as a lens through which to view the totalitarian history of the 20th century and beyond. Using ample quotations from Orwell’s work as an essayist and novelist, Peck examines the rightful place of the intellectual and of any person of conscience when the world seems to go mad.
