“I never thought that I would be a popular writer. I only wanted to be a good one...”

So says Margaret Atwood, the household name behind The Handmaid's Tale, telling her own story in this biographical film, as a film crew is granted exclusive access to the legendary author and her late partner Graeme Gibson over the course of a year. As she jets to speaking engagements around the world, visits the set of The Handmaid's Tale, and takes a family vacation, viewers are given a peek into one of the most brilliant minds of our time, into the life of a woman that seems to have the ability to see into the future and translate it into a novel for our benefit, caution, and entertainment. As much of her work deals with the idea of power, especially when it falls into the wrong hands, Atwood too, understands her own power as a writer. Her power comes from words, as the title suggests, putting one after another into an epic story.
