RSVP Now for a Screening of Children of Men Hosted by Francis Fukuyama
Join Future Tense and Francis Fukuyama on Sept. 19 in Washington, D.C., for a screening and discussion of Children of Men, the haunting adaptation of P.D. James’ dystopian novel. The 2006 film, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, is set in 2027, when all women have become infertile and humanity is facing extinction.
Fukuyama is a senior fellow at Stanford’s Freeman Spogli Institute and the author of The Origins of Political Order and The End of History and the Last Man. This is the latest installment of Future Tense’s “My Favorite Movie” series, in which thought leaders host screenings of their favorite movies and lead short conversations about them.
The screening of Children of Men will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 19, at Washington, D.C.’s Landmark E Street Cinema at 555 11th Street NW. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to futuretensedc@gmail.com with your name, email address, and any affiliation you’d like to share. You may RSVP for yourself and up to one guest. Please include your guest’s name in your response. Seating is limited.
