Movie Night! Featured Film: CHILDREN OF MEN
Details
RSVP by MAY 11 to: **Events@sofree.ca** (limited seating)
Set in a dystopian 2027 where humanity is on the brink of extinction after a generation of global infertility and people are becoming increasingly oppressed by an authoritarian regime, the film follows Theo, a disillusioned civil servant who is pulled into a perilous journey to protect Kee, the world’s only pregnant woman.
Director Alfonso Cuarón re-imagines the story through a secular rather than religious lens, casting the pregnant woman as a refugee of African origin to reflect humanity’s shared ancestry, and a protagonist who acts based on conscience and compassion rather than spiritual awakening. Children of Men shows us that even in a chaotic world, there can be hope for humanity through our ability to overcome adversity through ethical responsibility, understanding, courage, and cooperation.
Start time: 7:00 PM ~ Treats and decaf coffee provided.
Admission: Free for SOFREE members; $10 for non-members.
