The film tells the story of Kirman, a political prisoner exiled to Buru Island in the late 1960s.

Shondaland’s newest venture- released on Netflix on Christmas- is certainly a spectacle to behold, just as the premise; essentially an Austenian, Regency-Era Gossip Girl, helmed by Shonda Rhimes, the reigning queen of steamy romance television.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
Not only does the system prevent upward mobility, but it makes it incredibly easy to slide from comfortably middle class to unhoused.
