The Age of Stupid (trailer)

100%
The Age of Stupid is a 90-minute film about climate change, set in the future. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off) stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking back at archive-footage from 2007 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?

This film will be screening in over 400 locations in the U.S. for a one-time only event on September 21st 2009: Check the website to find a local theater (and yes! - friends in Lawrence, KS - there will be a screening here too, amazing!): http://www.ageofstupid.net/screenings/country/United%20States
