Film: The Age of Stupid

The film stars British actor Pete Postlethwaite.....as an old man living alone in a wrecked world in 2055, looking back at "archive footage" from 2008 and asking why mankind didn't save itself while it had the chance.

He pulls together archive clips from six real-life tales -- including an 8-year-old Iraqi refugee forced to live on the streets of Jordan after her family and home were destroyed during the U.S.-led invasion, and an 82-year-old French mountain guide who has seen his beloved Alpine glaciers melt away.

"Why didn't we save ourselves when we had the chance?"

You stare Mother Nature in the eye, then she dares you "Go ahead, do it...Lets dance!"

"Changes are already occurring – increased desertification, changes to rainfall patterns."

The gap between the glacial pace of negotiations and the rapid progress of global warming is now endangering the safety of the planet..."That is what is at stake. I don't think people have realised. We are nowhere near tackling this."
