1984

on BBC One London

Thirty-five years ago in London, George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four. This classic work warned of an oppressive future in which freedom was virtually extinct, privacy abolished, history erased and language altered. CBS News Correspondent Walter Cronkite looks at how close we've come to Orwell's fictional world and compares the world of Big Brother to the world of today.
