New film on Climate Change stars Pete Postlethwaite
THE AGE OF STUPID
Starring Pete Postlethwaite
DVD Release date: 22nd June 2009
"This film knocks spots off an Inconvenient Truth…"
Mark Anslow, The Ecologist
The Age of Stupid is the hardest hitting climate change film documentary to hit cinema screens, directed by Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and produced by Oscar-winning producer John Battsek (One Day in September, In the Shadow of the Moon).
Pete Postlethwaite stars as the narrator of the film, an old man living alone in what is a devastated world of 2055, looking at "archive footage" from 2008, asking "why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?".
Pete's character is the founder of the Global Archive, a storage facility located in the (now melted) Arctic, dedicated to preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet might one day be habitable again. The stories Pete's character uses to illustrate the plight of planet earth when something could have been done, include those of six individuals across the globe, whose lives have been affected in some way by climate change.
Produced independently, using the unique method of film financing through a "crowd funded" budget, The Age of Stupid is a film that hands the audience a stark dose of reality, forcing us to comprehend the true enormity of what we are doing to the planet.
