ORWELL 2+2=5 - Official Greenband Trailer - In Select Theaters October 3

During this Great Regression, AFT and NEA could use some of their hundreds of millions of dollars for an educational purpose, rather than promoting AI to replace teachers and endanger children, by purchasing this amazing documentary for every high school in the U.S. 

 

"George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (Academy Award-nominated I Am Not Your Negro), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Peck doesn't just present the information but shows new ways of seeing it, drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realize, championing Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future."
