What if girls ruled the world? Amazon Prime Video's The Power, based on the bestselling book of the same name by Naomi Alderman, aims to answer this question. The series centers on the individual stories of several different women who, after enduring misogyny, abuse, and sexism, suddenly develop the power to shoot electricity straight from their fingertips.
Zrinka Cvitešić stars as Tatiana Moskalev, the unhappy wife of the President of Moldova, Halle Bush plays Allie, a foster-turned-outlaw struggling to find her voice, with Heather Agyepong portraying Ndudi – one of the very first people to be injured by 'the power.' Total Film spoke to the three about the show's message and what 'the power' means to them.
