چکیده
Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men, adapted from the P. D. James novel, and set in 2027, presents a world where sudden universal infertility has doomed the human race to extinction. Global social breakdown results, but Britain maintains some semblance of functionality by means of brutal government oppression of its immigrant population. The same government has converted Battersea Power Station into the “Ark of Art,” a heavily guarded repository of artistic treasures rescued from collapsing nations and preserved for a “posterity” that is not coming.
