Margaret Atwood: A Word after a Word after a Word is Power
As one of the nation’s most beloved writers, Margaret Atwood has been a literary force for decades, both in Canada and around the world. While we all know her as one who speaks truth to power, this documentary shows a more personal side to the acclaimed novelist, and brings a new perspective to her most celebrated works.
Featuring interviews from other literary greats, her longtime friends, and Atwood herself, this career-spanning documentary perfectly captures the spirit of a Canadian icon.
