Climate change film draws local luminaries
VANCOUVER — Movie stars, politicians and environmentalists crowded the green carpet Tuesday evening at the Vancouver premiere of The Age of Stupid, a new movie about global warming.
The drama-documentary-animation hybrid film is the latest from Franny Armstrong, director of McLibel, and stars the Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in 2055. As the man watches footage from 2008, he asks why people didn’t act to stop climate change before it was too late.
Tzeporah Berman, executive director of PowerUP Canada, a Tides Canada project which hosted the film premiere, was quoted in the article. “I think that’s an incredibly important question to ask ourselves. Canada is one of the top 10 global warming polluters. We need laws, not new lightbulbs.”
