 Tagline: In 20 years. Women are fertile. No Children. No Future. No Hope. But all that can change in a heartbeat.
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron (Y tu mamá también, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) creates a startling vision set two decades into the near future—and sends a wake-up call to the world of today—with the mesmerizing thriller Children of Men.
Earth, 2027: Hope for the future has become a dwindling resource. It has been nearly 19 years since the last baby was born, and with each passing year of inexplicable, global childlessness, mankind edges closer to giving up all claims to a future. While most people choose to embrace the inevitable and descend into separatism, lawlessness and nihilism, others fight on for a unified planet and the rights of the dwindling populations.
Great Britain is the one country that has managed—through a policy of militaristic imperialism—to survive the ever-increasing internal strife and, in turn, is seeing a tremendous influx of illegal refugees landing on its shores. But with a firm, totalitarian hand, these “fugees” are herded into detainment camps and deported.
