Could 'The Handmaid's Tale' happen today? For some women, it's already reality.(TripleJ, Hack)

For some women it’s been a reality in the past, and for others it’s not too far from their reality today, says director of the first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale Reed Morano.

"Margaret Atwood calls it speculative fiction, not science fiction, because this could happen, it's not totally made up," Reed told Hack.
