Orwell: 2+2=5 is a 2025 documentary film produced, written, and directed by Raoul Peck.  It follows the career of George Orwell, particularly the lessons from his novel , 1984 and how his political observations are still relevant in present day authoritarianism.  The  phrase 2 + 2 = 5 symbolizes the ultimate triumph of totalitarian triumph over objective reality, forcing individuals to surrender their common sense to party ideology.  This coerced belief represents the erasure of absolute truth and the power of, in a 2025 documentary’s terms, authoritarian regimes.
