At the very core of it, Children of Men is a story about the importance of hope, and that message resonates with me more now than ever before.
It’s dead silent as everyone catches a glimpse of the hope and innocence of the child.
During my most recent viewing of this great work of art, I was brought to tears by the scene where Kee delivers the baby and she and Theo continue their journey to safety.
As they walk through the violent confrontation between the military and armed rebels, the world gets its first glimpse of the first newborn in nearly 20 years and everything stops.
