Margaret Atwood: Live in Cinemas

The publication of Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” in 1985 and the current, Emmy Award- winning television series have created a cultural phenomenon, as handmaids have become a symbol of women’s rights and a protest against misogyny and oppression. Filmed live from the stage of the National Theatre in London, Atwood will be interviewed by broadcaster and author Samira Ahmed in a conversation spanning the length of Atwood’s remarkable career, her diverse range of works and why she has returned to her seminal handmaid story 34 years later.
