The Tomorrow Question
Alfonso Cuarón’s *Children of Men* (2006) is a film about the future, yet the issues it addresses are deeply relevant to the present world. The story takes place in 2027, where humanity has been unable to conceive for 18 years due to an unknown cause. The world is on the brink of collapse. Governments maintain military rule, suppressing unrest and treating refugees as the source of social instability. In this world without continuance, a woman named Kee unexpectedly becomes pregnant, turning her into humanity's last hope. Theo, a man disillusioned with the world, is forced onto a journey to escort and protect her.
