The Age of Stupid

The latest – and possibly last – film from McLibel director Franny Armstrong, 4 years in the making.

In a mixture of documentary and fiction, Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Filmed on location in America, the UK, India, Nigeria, Iraq, Jordan and the Alps, and using animation and a stunning soundtrack, this timely film looks at climate change, oil, war, politics, consumerism and, of course, human stupidity.

“The first successful dramatisation of climate change to hit the big screen” The Guardian
