Is The Club Based on a True Story?
Yupp!! The story of the series The Club about the ex-convict Matilda is true as hell. It is the story of a seamstress who used to serve in a club of Instabul which was then under the domination of these clubs in the times of the ’50s. The series also portrayed the exploitation of the workers and laborers being done in these clubs looking so glamorous and ravishing from outside while sulking with uncontrolled men doing whatever they want with the lady workers and seamstresses. Being a Single Jewish mother, the makers have tried to pay tribute to the ladies who have survived the atrocities of the cruel society of Instanbul in the ’50s filled with clumsy rich upper class who had no compassion, not even worth a penny, and the lower class full of misery and exploitation.
