Children of Men (2006)

dir: Alfonso Cuarón

Children of Men is a 2006 dystopian science fiction film co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón.

Set in the United Kingdom of 2027, the film explores a grim world in which two decades of global human infertility have left humanity with less than a century to survive.

In the midst of this chaos, Theo Faron (Clive Owen) must find safe transit for Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), a pregnant African "fugee" (refugee).
