About this episode
Our season finale has arrived! This week on Post-Apocalyptia, we look at Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film, Children of Men. We'll talk about terrorism, assisted suicide, and the death of the world's youngest person. We have combat, long action sequences, and perhaps the most fundamentally human apocalypse we've ever seen: The end of fertility and birth. And we'll ask ourselves, what keeps people going when the end is inevitable? This and more, in the season two finale of Post-Apocalyptia, Children of Men! Join us there, at the end of the world.
Children of Men is available for rent and purchase on various services, and is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
