No Men Beyond This Point is a Canadian comedy film directed by Mark Sawers.[1] It was shown in the Vanguard section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival and acquired for distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films (worldwide rights excluding Canada).[2]

Plot

The film is a science-fiction mockumentary set in an alternate world where in the 1950s, humans began reproducing by parthenogenesis. Nine months after a near-Earth object hits the Earth in 1952, the first fatherless baby is born. Sexual reproduction became rarer and rarer, and the babies born by way of parthenogenesis were all female, so that by the 2010s (when the mock documentary is filmed), the youngest male human on Earth is 37 years old; he is the ostensible subject of the mock documentary.[3][4]
