George Orwell - A Warning to Mankind Documentary

This video is dedicated to the memory of George Orwell to mark the 120th anniversary of his birth. A genius for the ages.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it” George Orwell

The trouble is that today's politicians regard Orwell's book 1984 as a user manual.

'YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY' - George Orwell; a man well beyond his time. If he could see us now he would be glad he is deceased. Thankyou George for your work.

He wrote cautionary tales of absolute authoritarian regimes, foreseeing many aspects of modern dystopian society over the last few decades. I consider him one of the greatest visionary free thinkers of the 20th century.

I literally got the chills at this point, 51:55, ... 'He believed that the foundations of totalitarianism lay in the misuse of language to manipulate the truth and was pessimistic about humanity's tendency to be subject to such manipulation.' Wow!, how 2023 is that assertion, talk about a man who saw tomorrow.

It is incredible how a person from the past could see what was gonna happen in the future, but most people nowadays can't even see their own present, George Orwell a wise man

"The quickest way to end a war is to lose it" - George Orwell. He was a great writer and I'm glad we read Animal Farm, 1984, and his essays in high school in the '60s. He has had a very positive impact on my life.

Being educated and experiencing life in both the privileged class and the working class gave Orwell an acute sense of fairness and perspective.

George Orwell's books, in particular, 1984 and Animal Farm, should be mandatory reading in all British schools. Especially with the sinister things going on around the world right now.

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell

I read1984 in my teen years and at the time i thought it was a great book, but quite outrageous story line. Little did i know we would be literally living through those times! Its quite frightening!

His works, Huxley's Brave New World, and Bradbury's 451 Fahrenheit are essential reads, to understand the wold we live in today.

30 years ago, I thought Orwell might be talking about 1000 years from now, but it's happening now before our eyes. Thank you for posting this.

"The Animal Farm," is one of the set books in the High School English curriculum here in Kenya. It has been in the curriculum several times, now across the years. It is the only book done by a European writer. The rest are from African authors. This guy is a literary genius.

George Orwell is one of the greatest writers of all time in my opinion. It's a shame he died at such a relative young age.

This man, George Orwell, had done so, so much in only 46 years ... such a remarkable life!!!

The fact you plublished this video on Orwells 120th birthday has not gone unnoticed! ❤

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” How true.

He moved around a lot during his life and gained a lot of experience in and out of the military. He also had spoken with a lot of people and written a few books whether they were successful or not. Spending time dressed as a poor man in the slums of London was incredible but it taught him a lot about the sorry state of people who could not rise above such poverty. However all of this prepared him for his greatest work, taking his observations about the problems of his day and using it to write a book about the future in 1984 This book is still read and talked about and we see it coming true 40 years later in the 22nd century.
