Children Of Men

Directed By - Alfonso Cuarón

Staring:
Clive Owen
Julianne Moore
Claire-Hope Ashitey
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Michael Caine

Clive Owen plays Theo Faron, a man whose baby died at the age of two and whose wife (Julianne Moore) left him because she couldn't handle the loss.

He lives in Great Britain in 2027.  Almost 20 years ago, the entire world suffered an epidemic--infertility.  In the first scene, Owen finds out the the world's youngest man, "Baby Diego" has just died.  

This is the opening for one of the most pro-life pictures ever made.  I'd have to say it even tops The Silent Scream.  

Theo gets involved with a rebel group who is hiding a pregnant girl (Kee, played by Claire-Hope Ashitey)... the only woman with child on the planet.  The rebel group wants to use her baby as a mascott.  But Theo's ex-wife had told the girl not to trust anyone except Theo himself.
