This study explores the impact of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on the making of the movie Animal Farm (1954), which is an adaptation of a novel by the same title, written by the British writer, George Orwell and published in 1946. During the Cold war the CIA was heavily involved in producing the film adaptation of Orwell’s Animal Farm to spread anti-Soviet and anti-communist propaganda. The movie was created as political propaganda to convey the CIA’s specific political messages, not Orwell’s. First, this paper describes the CIA’s covert affairs regarding the making of the film, and then it examines the specific factors that encouraged governmental control over the movie Animal Farm. Through such an examination, this study speculates on the depth of the CIA’s interference and explores what would be a proper and ethical relationship between the state and literature
