CHILDREN OF MEN envisages 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, the film follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth’s survival. When the planet‘s last remaining hope is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.

Directed and co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Y Tu Mamá También), CHILDREN OF MEN also stars Julianne Moore as the leader of an underground opposition group and Michael Caine as Jasper.

The film’s grippingly powerful musical accompaniment includes original works by acclaimed classical composer John Tavener along with pieces by Mahler, Handel and Penderecki. In addition to Tavener’s original works, this album also contains his compositions: Eternity’s Sunrise, Song of An Angel, The Lamb and others.
