Children of Men DVD was released in Europe on January 15, 2007 and in the United States on March 27, 2007. This half-hour documentary by director Alfonso Cuarón entitled "The Possibility of Hope" is included in the extras. The documentary explores the intersection between the film's themes and reality with a critical analysis by eminent scholars: the Slovenian sociologist and philosopher Slavoj Žižek , anti-globalization activist Naomi Klein, futurist James Lovelock, sociologist Saskia Sassen, human geographer Fabrizio Eva, cultural theorist Tzvetan Todorov, and philosopher and economist John N. Gray.

saw this movie and this "bonus feature" when it came out -- enjoyed the film quite a bit and found the feature a bit, well, "of a type" that is suggestive of intellectualism but is somewhat biased and unbalanced. Still, it offers an interesting view of the kind of material which informed the art direction, aesthetic, and style of the film ("Children of Men") and offers a unique perspective of the present by illuminating a glimpse of what, in many respects, is a plausible future.

Always fun to hear Slavoj Zizek. Fabrizio Eva gave an interesting interview as well, I wonder how they came across him. One beef I had was at the very last statement by Lovelock -- biological evolution in humans is not relevant on the generational time scale. The fact that Lovelock has nine grandchildren means he contributed to the population explosion, and should not make him proud.
