1984

Winston Smith works at the Ministry of Truth, altering historical records to match the changing claims of the Party. Although he outwardly obeys, he has begun to hate the regime, its surveillance, and its demand that citizens reject their own memories. His private acts of resistance lead to a relationship with Julia and the hope that organized opposition may exist. In a society governed by Big Brother, Winston's effort to preserve independent thought brings him into conflict with a state determined to control both public history and private belief.
