Independent movie theaters across America have decided to screen the film adaptation of George Orwells 1984 to protest President Donald Trumps quick descent into authoritarianism. The theaters say that, [This] endeavor encourages theaters to take a stand for our most basic values: freedom of speech, respect for our fellow human beings, and the simple truth that there are no such things as alternative facts.'
On April 4, at least 90 theaters will show the film because April 4 is the day that Winston Smith, the main character, begins a diary.
Winston works for the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, a government body tasked with altering the historical record to suit the Partys current agenda. There is no sense of truth or falsity; the facts shift daily. The Party uses its total control of societys narrative to manipulate the citizens it rules over.
