This Tuesday close to 200 movie theatres worldwide will be showing the film adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984”. For those who have read Orwell’s depiction of a society controlled by  totalitarian single party rule in which government surveillance of its citizens is commonplace (Big Brother is Watching You) and truth is whatever the government wishes it to be can’t help but see parallels with the Trump administration and the conservative movement in America today.

We applaud the efforts by Dylan Skolnick, and Adam Birnbaum in organizing the event and hope it cast more light on the insidious trend of conservative politics woldwide and the Trump administration in particular.
