Third Thursday | Orwell: 2+2=5
Produced, written, and directed by Raoul Peck, the film follows the career of George Orwell — particularly the lessons of Nineteen Eighty-Four — tracing how his political observations continue to resonate in the face of contemporary authoritarianism. Damian Lewis narrates the film as Orwell, lending his voice to the writer’s own letters and journals, while Peck interweaves cinematic references and modern-day footage to craft a fresh portrait of just how prophetic Orwell’s work has become.
The film premiered at Cannes in 2025, where it was nominated for the L’Œil d’or, and went on to win Best Score and Best Narration at the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards.
We’ll screen the film and open the floor for discussion afterward. The event is free and open to the public.
