Summary:

"The Age of Stupid imagines the world in 2055, devastated by the disastrous effects of climate change. Humanity's sole survivor takes refuge in an Arctic storage facility, compiling archive footage from 1950-2008 to discover what went wrong. Director Franny Armstrong presents a fascinating mosaic of people whose lives have been deeply affected by global warming, including a Hurricane Katrina survivor, an elderly French mountain guide, and an 8-year-old Iraq war refugee. Their stories show the ravages of climate change and suggest, in some cases, possible solutions for a more hopeful future."--Container.
