Franny Armstrong's docu-drama, The Age of Stupid, will premier is 65 cinema halls simultaneously, including in Leeds. Six years ago, she set out to make a film about oil and climate change. With no formal film-making degree, no budget to speak of, and the prospect of travelling to such hotspots as Iraq and the Niger Delta, Franny started on the quest and her documentary will be seen by millions worldwide.
Pete Postlethwaite stars as an old man in 2055 who looks back to the time of the making of the documentary in 2008 and wonders why no one did anything about climate change why they still had the chance. Why indeed.
