CIA secretly purchased film right to several novel written by which author to alter endings? Explain

The CIA’s apprehension over George Orwell’s works “Animal Farm” and “1984” led to the agency acquiring the film rights for both novels to alter their conclusions. Originally, in “Animal Farm,” the conclusion portrayed both the pigs (symbolizing Communists) and humans (representing capitalists) as equally negative. However, the CIA-produced animated adaptation skewed the narrative to be more critical of Communism by depicting only the pigs as corrupt. Conversely, in “1984,” the novel concludes with the protagonist, Winston, succumbing to Big Brother. Yet, in the film adaptation, he meets his end valiantly defying Big Brother with the words “down with Big Brother!”
