The Age of Stupid is a film by Franny Armstrong, director of McLibel, and John Battsek, producer of One Day in September. The film is a drama-documentary-animation hybrid which 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 when we had the chance?
