'The Age Of Stupid' is a new UK cinema documentary from the Director of 'McLibel' and the Producer of the Oscar-winning 'One Day In September'.
Described by international media and politicians alike as 'essential viewing to anyone who cares about the survival of our planet' it stars Pete Postlethewaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching 'archival' footage from 2008 and asking, 'why didn't we stop climate change whilst we still had the chance?'
In the crucial lead-up to December's UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen, where the successor to the Kyoto treaty will be decided, this is a question that hopefully future generations will never be forced to ask.
Presented by the British Council and the British High Commission.
