A fundamental and truly comprehensive feature-length documentary in which director Raoul Peck examines totalitarian regimes through the works of visionary writer George Orwell. The film delves into the final months of Orwell's creative life to explore the roots of the fundamental and disturbing concepts he revealed to the world in his dystopian work...
