"I've been involved as a producer throughout, and particularly in the pre-stage and then in this stage, after we shot it, had been involved in conversations and the edit and that's been a gift, to be heard and listened and be involved in that creative side of it.

The first eight books in the series are: Why I Write While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership.
