The Handmaid's Tale, a film based on Margaret Atwood’s book depicts a dystopia, where pollution and radiation have rendered innumerable women sterile, and the birthrates of North America have plummeted to dangerously low levels. To make matters worse, the nation’s plummeting birth rates are blamed on its women. The United States, now renamed the Republic of Gilead, retains power the use of piousness, purges, and violence.

Joan stretched out in bed as Perceval dressed for the day. It was the morning of the Harvest Festival, and her birthday, and she was more excited than she could recall. Yet she wasn’t the only resident of Camelot bursting with anticipation – excitement was palpable throughout the castle and city.

The brown leather reached her knees, and she had spend good money on making sure that they fit her feet. Her jodhpurs had splashes of mud on the dark material and her cream shirt seemed like it would fit a pirate rather than a
