Movie propaganda
From the director of McLibel and the producer of One day in September comes a stark glimpse of our future should we fail to arrest global warming…
By 2055, runaway climate change has ravaged our planet. Oscar nominated actor, Pete Postlethwaite, plays the founder of The Global Archive, a storage facility located in the (now melted) Arctic, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet might one day be habitable again. Or that intelligent life may arrive and make use of all that we've achieved. He pulls together clips of “archive” news and documentary from 1950 up until 2008 to build a message showing what went wrong, and asks the question, “why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance?”

Theatrical report
The Age of Stupid is exactly what it purports to be: a film about what will happen if we do nothing about global warming. It's not very exciting but it will fill you with frustration as you watch interviews and news reports about people who don't care about the impact of their activities on the environment. An inconvenient truth is better.
The agitprop, environment movie The Age of Stupid is directed by Franny Armstrong and stars Layefa Malini, Fernand Pareau, Pete Postlethwaite.
