What is Children of Men about?
In a world without new births, a disillusioned civil servant must protect the first pregnant woman in eighteen years.
Why watch Children of Men?
A dystopia whose background details are as persuasive as its plot. Cuarón’s long takes turn political collapse into lived space, while a fragile new life makes hope feel costly rather than easy.
