Tomorrow's Children is a 1934 American film directed by Crane Wilbur which protests against the eugenic policies then in force in many states. The film was deemed "immoral", "tending to corrupt morals", and "tending to incite crime".

The film is also known as The Unborn in the United Kingdom.

Synopsis

A young woman wishes to marry her boyfriend and raise a family, but because her own family has been deemed "defective" by the state health authorities—her parents are lazy alcoholics who continue to have children, and her brothers are crippled, have mental problems or are jailed—a court orders her to undergo sterilization so that her family's "defective genes" won't be passed on to any more children. Her boyfriend and a kind priest desperately search for a way to stop the forced sterilization before it's too late.
