Orwell Rolls in his Grave gives the big picture of the media system in America and asks why some important stories are not covered by the mainstream news and remain invisible. Using references to George Orwell's masterpiece "1984" the filmmakers establish the idea that "1984" isn't just fiction any more. The premise of Orwell's novel is that language is redesigned and history rewritten to control people's thoughts. According to the filmmakers, the American media system at best--filters the news to the populace, and at worst--is the mouthpiece of its corporate and political masters.
