From acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro, Ernest Cole: Lost and Found) comes a bold, incisive investigation into the life, legacy, and prophetic power of George Orwell. Anchored by the iconic warning from 1984—“Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past”—the film exposes how the manipulation of language remains one of the most potent tools of control.

Peck traces Orwell’s personal journey and political awakening while confronting the modern forms of “newspeak” shaping our world today. From AI‑driven misinformation and state‑sponsored propaganda to the seductive language of marketing and the renewed wave of book bans, ORWELL 2+2=5 reveals how the struggle over words is ultimately a struggle over freedom itself.
