The Age of Stupid premiered on March 15 in London. The film is a drama documentary set in 2055 depicts a world that has been ravaged by climate change and the inability to react on the part of humans. The Age of Stupid explores the critical threshhold we’re at in history – when, we were aware that we were destroying the planet, but did little to stop it. This is the central theme of “The Age of Stupid,” a pioneering climate change documentary that aims to turn every viewer into climate change activists. The film stars British actor, Pete Postlethwaite, whose character watches “archive footage” from 2008 and asks why action against global warming was not taken when there was still a chance.
For the premiere, filmmakers went all out to create a green environment. The event was held in a special tent and was dubbed “the world’s first solar-powered film premiere.”
Attendees including Vivienne Westwood and Gillian Anderson were asked not to fly in to attend, but to arrive by foot, public transportation or bike. Postlethwaite, the film’s star, also arrived via bicycle.
Check out the Age of Stupid trailer. The film will premiere in the U.S. in May.
