George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck interweaves clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and modern-day footage to craft not only a portrait of the writer, but a fresh take on how prophetic his work has become.

What a excellent documentary. I love reading a book 1984. Usually I am skeptical about movies, this is fantastic*

The director & producer were interviewed on Democracy Now! on Oct. 2, 2025. You can view the taped interview on that independent news program with Amy Goodman.
