About films
CHILDREN OF MEN
CHILDREN OF MEN is a 2006 dystopian science fiction film co-written, co-edited and directed by Alfonso Cuarón and based loosely on P. D. James’s 1992 novel The Children of Men.
In 2027, two decades of human infertility have left society on the brink of collapse. Illegal immigrants seek sanctuary in the United Kingdom, where the last functioning government imposes oppressive immigration laws on refugees. Clive Owen plays civil servant Theo Faron, who must help a pregnant West African refugee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) escape the chaos. CHILDREN OF MEN also stars Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, Pam Ferris, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
