The first Kuwaiti-produced Netflix original, “The Exchange,” is a drama that highlights the injustice that women have experienced throughout history. The drama seriescenters on the 1980s travels of cousins Farida and Munira. The two ladies are eager to take up professions in Kuwait’s hectic stock exchange and find complicated math to be no problem.
They struggle with attitudes as they hope to create their mark in an industry that men mainly control. According to the synopsis, the two major protagonists, Farida and Munira, will prove they can keep up in a “cutthroat” workplace. According to Netflix, they will go on a journey demonstrating sisterhood, persistence, ambition, and courage.
