| don't miss your chance to watch the age of stupid | | ‘The Age of Stupid’ is on BBC iPlayer until Monday night (link below). Don’t miss the chance to see it!
It’s a brilliant movie about climate change, hyper-consumption, and the complex world we live in.
“Bold, supremely provocative, and hugely important – 4 stars” The Telegraph
“Terrifying…shameless…probably spot-on – 4 stars” The Times
“Armstrong’s journalism is solid, instructive and pleasingly thoughtful, largely avoiding a black-and-white and familiar approach to the subject – 4 stars” Time Out

Sorry I know I'm somewhat behind here! (although I may have mentioned it before I'd have to check the forum archive). I went to see the premiere at Guildford Odeon - my first ever film premiere! A very creative way of saying what was said similarly by Al Gore. I tried to get a group to come with me but sadly they dipped out. I was challenged all the same. And also as I like animation - the animation bits in it are well worth watching on their own.
| Recently ordered this and have watched it again - it's still challenging. I love the extra's that come with the DVD. Some very good short films including 3 or 4 from Greenpeace. The making of the film is very heart warming and moving. To see the premiere again and relive that as I was there making history and the Guiness Book of Records was good too! I will blow my own trumpet here - I bought it from their website even if it was more expensive - to support a good cause!
| It really is an impressive film.
Excellent in a challenging manner!
| Have you just seen it then?
| No, we have purchased the DVD and watched it a few months ago.
We have tried to work out how to use some of it in a talk but not successfully yet.
