1949. George Orwell finishes what will be his last but most important novel, “1984”. “ORWELL: 2+2=5” delves deep into Orwell’s final months and visionary works to explore the roots of the vital and troubling concepts he revealed to the world in his dystopian masterpiece: Doublethink, Thoughtcrime, Newspeak, the omnipresent spectre of Big Brother – disturbing socio-political truths which resonate ever-more powerfully today.
