CHILDREN OF MEN

“The year 2027: the last days of the human race. No child has been born for 18 years. He must protect our only hope.”

In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child's birth may help scientists save the future of humankind.
