We speak with the acclaimed filmmakers Raoul Peck and Alex Gibney about their latest documentary, Orwell: 2 2=5, which explores the life and career of George Orwell and why his political writing remains relevant today.
"We are living again and again — not only in the United States, but in many other countries, including in Europe, in Latin America, in Africa — the same playbook playing again and again," says Peck, who directed the film.
Gibney, a producer on the film, says Donald Trump perfectly illustrates the "assault on common sense" that is part of any authoritarian system. "What you instinctively know to be true is upended by the authoritarian leader, so that everything flows from him," says Gibney. "He just invents things on the spot, but he expects them to be revered as true."
