In a world desperate for an edge, the military turns to an unlikely source: a young girl named Suzy (Robin Morgan) with a certified genius-level IQ. Taken from her mother to live and work at a top-secret government research facility, her intellect is meant to be humanity’s greatest asset.
But her extraordinary mind does not bring hope. Instead, it allows her to calculate the future with terrifying accuracy, and all she can foresee is humanity’s inevitable and absolute self-destruction. Now, Suzy faces a new challenge, a child trying to warn a world of powerful adults who refuse to believe her predictions. This chilling Cold War-era parable about a world refusing to listen makes “A Child Is Crying” a powerful and haunting episode of Tales of Tomorrow.
