We Are All George Orwell Now!



Icarus. Yes. This documentary is stunningly great. I guess, it's no surprise it won an Oscar. It's starts with a very specific, personal story, it takes an unexpected turn, and becomes a very different, much bigger, story. Let's say, the grand theme is maybe the story of our time.

Power. Lies. Corruption. Cheating. Propaganda. Winning at all costs. Success. Failure. Truth-telling. Double-think.

Yes, the great George Orwell makes an appearance too. We truly live in an Orwellian dystopia!


"In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia."
