Details

Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith skillfully rewrites the past to suit the needs of the Party. Yet he inwardly rebels against the harsh totalitarian world he lives in which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing telescreens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. Orwell's nightmare novel digitally remastered for the call-monitoring, email-screening, CCTV society of the twenty-first century. This show contains violence and some strong language.
