Children of Men


Academy Award-nominated filmmaker ALFONSO CUARÓN (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.
