Watch the Explosive New Film “The Age of Stupid”

Join us for the sci-fi docu-drama described as the best climate change film to hit the big screen. Presented by UBC Continuing Studies Centre for Sustainability, The Age of Stupid follows a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from our current age and asking: Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

After the film a short panel discussion featuring Brian Nattrass of Sustainability Partners Inc, Robert Safrata of Novex Couriers and Elisa Campbell of the UBC Design Centre for Sustainability will examine potential forward steps in the fight against climate change. Vanessa Timmer of One Earth will moderate the discussion.
