Alpha: Omega

A ravaged London is in the midst of a century-long civil war in which the battle-line isn't race or religion: it's gender. And the resource at stake isn't land or wealth: it's reproduction. The film follows the journey of the youngest member of an underground female resistance group, and her relationship with her biological mother.
