The barely functioning version of civilization presented in Children of Men is horrifying enough, but things get much worse when the film enters Bexhill refugee camp in its third act.
This ghetto for arrested illegal immigrants is little more than a concentration camp where the increasingly rare commodity that is human life is still pretty cheap. Amid the rubble, fire, and dirt, the slum is also filled with political imagery from today, just in case anyone misses the point that this may be what we're headed towards. It makes the film's previous depiction of Hell on Earth look down right cozy.
