[ Original, unsubtitled version at: youtu.be/4g4YEfFUvM0 ]
In a parallel universe, a mad scramble is underway to save the people of “Earthly" from suffering the same fate as "those poor people on Earth”. Many of the faces in this faraway land are uncannily similar to those of well-known climate campaigners and politicians here on Earth, including YouTuber Jack Harries, naturalist Chris Packham, comedian Jonathan Pie, Ed Miliband MP, Caroline Lucas MP, the President of the Maldives and Jon Snow from Channel 4 News.
This new film by the team behind The Age of Stupid is released on 15th March 2019 - ten years to the day since Age of Stupid launched at its green-carpet, solar-powered premiere. And also the day of the first ever *global* schools strike. Poetic indeed.
The AGE OF STUPID will be broadcast on BBC4 in the next few weeks (exact date TBC), and is available now on iTunes, Amazon Prime (in English French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese) and Google Play.
