🎬 🧪 Science. Art. Film.: Children of Men (2006)

In a ruined London in 2027, Theo Faron (Clive Owen) and Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore) must smuggle a young woman out of the country.

Director Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Gravity) adapted the novel by PD James to present a miserable future world where humanity has disintegrated into shabby desperation and urban warfare.

Join us after the film for a fascinating discussion on key themes in the film - from population projections and migration to protest cultures and collapsing societies.

‘Children of Men may be something of a bummer, but it’s the kind of glorious bummer that lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking.’ – The New York Times

Presented as part of our Science. Art. Film. series in partnership with the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, ANU.
