In the late 1940s, George Orwell, increasingly ill with tuberculosis, was living on Jura while working on 1984. His seminal novel paints a dystopian portrait of a man’s secret rebellion against a totalitarian surveillance society. Raoul Peck’s ambitious and wide-ranging documentary weaves an exploration of the book’s ideas with Orwell’s biography, including his childhood in India and involvement in the Spanish Civil War, both of which informed his work. A wealth of archive footage, including clips from adaptations of the novel, highlights how concepts such as doublethink, Big Brother, and newspeak resonate more than ever today. English, Burmese, French, Spanish, Mandarin with English subtitles.DocumentaryPT1H59MN/C 15+2026-03-02
