The Age of Stupid is Fanny Armstrong's (Mclure) newest movie and was three years in the making.

Produced by John Battle (In the Shadow of the Moon), Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Covering the topics: climate change, oil, war, politics, consumerism and human stupidity, The Age of Stupid was shot on location in America, UK, India, Nigeria, Iraq, Jordan and the Swiss Alps over a period of three years. It features six separate documentary stories, archive footage and animation from, amongst others; the creators of the Gorillas animations. Soundtrack includes songs from Radiohead and Depeche Mode.
