review: age of stupid

Today we watched the film 'Age of Stupid'. The film "stars Pete Postlethwaite as an archivist in the devastated world of the future, asking the question: "Why didn't we stop climate change when we still had the chance?" He looks back on footage of real people around the world in the years leading up to 2015 before runaway climate change took place." [1]

The film is very insightful and tells you the story of people from each corner of the world: the wind power activists in the UK; the man who stayed at home during hurricane Katrina; the Indian businessman; the French hiker; the Iraqi family and the African woman who wants to go to medical school.
