This fascinating documentary from the BBC tells the tale of George Orwell. A man who despite living in a time where motion picture cameras and audio equipment were readily available, was never caught on film. Nor is there a single recording of Orwell’s voice.

Chris Langham plays Orwell is in this film where they attempt to bring this author to life. He does such an amazing job of playing Orwell, that it is almost difficult to distinguish who is who at times. A perfect fit to play the character of Orwell, as he also looks strikingly similar.

George Orwell: A Life in Pictures will show viewers how he evolved over his career and lifetime. It features his life story beginning with his education and eventually coming to a close with his death. Orwell passed away in 1950, shortly after completing his masterpiece, 1984.

Viewers will be quick to notice as the film begins that the pictures are invented. But what isn’t a fabrication is the words that are spoken. Everything that Orwell’s character says in the film originated from his writings. It will showcase there was so much more to Orwell than his one novel, 1984.

This film is a must-see. Orwell deserves to be celebrated and the BBC has done so wonderfully in this documentary, George Orwell: A Life in Pictures.
