Tuesday, April 9, 6:00 p.m. | Alfonso Cuarón's CHILDREN OF MEN is set in a bleak, near-future England in which global economies have collapsed and an unprecedented migrant crisis has emerged. Compounding the crisis is the fact of human infertility—no human babies have been born in 18 years. A small group of determined activists fights to protect the future of humanity.
