Featured review
In a world that resembles "Children of Men", tormented with ecological disasters and a vision of human extinction - there is a country where citizens decided to take strong actions to prevent from the vision of the grim future. Men are put in charge and women are relieved from their constitution and freedom rights to serve for one purpose only - giving birth to children in a utopian society that follows the rules of Bible.
But this show is not just about this - but most of all - it's a study of how a totalitarian regime is born. How a simple and dangerous idea is pushed from the deepest parts of frustrated minds to become a basis for a new society whose happiness is assured by rifles, severe punishments, eradication of basic education and fellings - a society free of any critic thinking, fully devoted to the state.
Where fear is the main tool to keep the state united.
But like any totalitarian regime - it also starts to eat it's own founders.
It's a study of how ordinary people are being corrupted when given absolute power.
And it's a study of people who can't stand up and agree to become victims of the cruel ideology.
Sounds familiar? This is the show that will help just a little understand the history of the 20th century.
