Moll Flanders (1996)
The incredible Alex Kingston stars in the BBC adaptation of Moll Flanders, the seminal, early novel by Defoe of a woman and her turbulent existence in 1693 England; being born at Newgate Prison, reared by the Mayor of Colchester, a wife, unknowingly to her brother, and just escaping the gallows to travel to the slave-shackled shores of colonial Virginia, wherein the story returns full circle. In the interim, Moll proves herself a fighter, a survivor of the class struggle as much as an adventuress and hopeful upwardly-mobile swimmer in it, and reveals both the hypocrisy of the male-dominated world of sex and money, as well as the flatulent outpourings of the Church-dominated society that will hang a child for stealing a handkerchief but allow gentlemen to carouse and womanize to their pleasure.

He guessed they were mid-forties. Him perhaps a bit older than her, although difficult to tell. ‘If you've more luggage in the car I can bring it up afterwards, once you've checked in. No point in going back out there if you don't have to, is there?’ He flipped open the registration book and offered them a pen.

10 Lesser-Known Americans Currently Detained in Non-U.S. Prisons Some people applauded and others denounced Brittney Griner's recent release from a Russian jail colony on the morning of December 8, 2022. On the same day, Sarah Krivanek, an American citizen who had been ordered deported from Russia owing to a domestic dispute, also left the country. Krivanek, in contrast to Griner, did not take part in the prisoner swap that saw Griner traded for Viktor Bout, the subject of the Nicholas Cage movie Lord of War from 2005.
