Orwell Rolls in His Grave is a 2003 American documentary film directed by Robert Kane Pappas and written by Pappas and Tom Blackburn.[1]

Documentary topic

The film covered topics including the Telecommunications Act of 1996, concentration of media ownership, political corruption, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the controversy over the US presidential election of 2000 (particularly in Florida with Bush v. Gore), and the Carter vs. Reagan 1980 October Surprise theory.[2]

Participants

Screenings

The film has aired in October 2004, on Free Speech TV, a non-profit TV station based in Denver, Colorado and Link TV.[3]

Reception

In 2004, Washington Post staff writer Desson Thomson found the documentary to feel like a do-over of the views and arguments in Fahrenheit 9/11, The Corporation and Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism.[4]
