In episode 22 of Listening At the Fire, host Virginia Anzengruber moderates another panel discussion from our Summer Screen Club series - this time focusing on the Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale. Based on the novel by Margaret Atwood, this series focuses on a dystopian future where a tyrannical religious government relegates women to class systems that force them to bare children for government officials.
Virginia is joined by panelists Sarah Vesely (director of The Wealthy Theatre) and Shirley Griffin (co-founder of the Thriller! Chiller! Film Festival) to discuss the story theory, visual structure, and overall world of The Handmaid's Tale.
Unfortunately, some audio issues prevented the entire session from recording, so you will hear a bit of a jump in topics, but if you'd like to follow along with some of what was discussed in the gap of missed audio, please find the slideshow and panel notes here: Show Notes.
