THE HANDMAID’S TALE has sparked global conversation and social action unlike, perhaps, any other US series this year. The television adaptation of Margaret Atwood's 1985 feminist novel of the same name has struck a nerve in today’s political climate. The series is set in dystopian Gilead, where only a few women remain fertile and are treated as property of the state. Elisabeth Moss (MAD MEN, TOP OF THE LAKE) stars as one of the ‘handmaids’ who tries to survive in this totalitarian society.
