Orwell Rolls in his Grave is a 2003 documentary that presents the Orwellian notions of "doublespeak," "big brother" and "the endless war" in a contemporary context, using examples such as how the invasion of Iraq was spun as a defensive measure and how the 'estates tax' was first renamed 'the death tax' so that it could later be abolished. It interviews media experts and journalists.
