'The Age of Stupid' is the new cinema documentary from the Director of 'McLibel' and the Producer of the Oscar-winning 'One Day in September'. This enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching 'archive' footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance?
SOME REVIEWS:
The Guardian (UK) : "The first successful dramatisation of climate change to reach the big screen."
Nature : "[The film] largely avoids talking heads, lengthy BBC-accented voiceovers, and other stifling staples of many documentaries. The pace is taut and the portraits intimate and playful, with an eye for gem-like moments of absurdity."
The Sun (UK) : "Predictions from exctinction movie already happening in real life."
The Ecologist magazine : “Fantastic. Knocks spots off An Inconvenient Truth”
New Statesman : “Anything but a good-guys-versus-bad-guys polemic. It is angry but nuanced, despairing but strangely motivating.”

PS- Pete Postlethwaite is the actor who stated
