9. Children Of Men

Join us for a discussion of PD James’ 1992 book The Children of Men…. and the 2006 film Children of Men.

There is a lot of gushing over the camera work and cinematography. There is a discussion of the use of ableism vs racism or xenophobia. And of course, there is a shout out to everyone’s favorite robot overlord, a fart joke, and a little applesauce related trivia! Enjoy!
