George Orwell was one of the most radical and visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose 1940s novels, such as "1984" and "Animal Farm," foretold a chilling, all-too-believable authoritarian future that has become scarily prescient in our modern era.

Acclaimed director Raoul Peck ("I Am Not Your Negro"), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell’s diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Featuring award-winning actor Damian Lewis as the voice of Orwell.
