ORWELL: 2+2=5

Director: Raoul Peck

119 mins, France-USA, 2025, Digital

OPENING IN CINEMA FRIDAY, MARCH 27TH

A dynamic blend of biography and intellectual inquiry, Raoul Peck’s (I am not your Negro) film examines the legacy of George Orwell through the lens of today’s turbulent political climate. The film draws parallels between Orwell’s warnings about authoritarianism and the rise of misinformation, surveillance, and populism in the 21st century. As Peck interrogates the distortion of truth and the weaponisation of language, Orwell: 2+2=5 becomes both a searing critique of contemporary politics and a call to vigilance against the erosion of reality.

There will be an Open Captioned screening at 18.15 on Tuesday 31st.
