Let's talk about movies! Join us for a screening of Children of Men (2006, R). After the movie our group will have a short discussion and select what we will watch next month. There will be popcorn and snacks!
Children of Men shows us a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.
Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, this film follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo (Clive Owen) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival.
Nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Adapted Screenplay. Winner of a BAFTA Award for Best Cinematography.
