The new Fictional TV show Handmaid’s tale tells a dystopian future society in the land of America. A group of conservative extremists overthrow the government and build a new country name Gilead. Because of the serious polluted environment, the birth rate is very low and baby mortality is quite high. So the new government forces fertile women to become handmaids. Their only purpose is to give birth for the country. There is no human right for women, the homosexual or the minorities.
