'The Age Of Stupid’ is the new documentary-drama-animation hybrid from
Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer
John Battsek (One Day In September, Live Forever, In the Shadow of the
Moon).
Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off,
The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living in the devastated world of
2055. He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop
climate change when we had the chance?
Runaway climate change has ravaged the planet by 2055. Pete 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 1950-2008 to build a message showing
what went wrong and why.
