A futuristic film showing the regret about the way the world handled climate change. 'The Age of Stupid' is the cinema documentary from the Director of 'McLibel' and the Producer of the Oscar-winning 'One Day in September'. This enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching 'archive' footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance? It offers intriguing insights into the stories of a series of people affected by some aspect of the global warming phenomenon … including; a Hurricane Katrina victim, an elderly French mountain guide, and an 8-year-old Iraq war refugee - Their stories vividly highlight the various tentacles of the climate change problem and, in some cases, its potential solutions.

Hosted by the lovely Stitchettes … aka Stitch & Bitch London … Join the stitch savvy masses as we shove a handful of handmade into the face of giant world-stomping corporations. There's nothing more in harmony with the world around you than pulling up a chair, sitting yourself down and creating something with your own two hands. Relax your brain, make yourself a marvel and indulge in a bit of bitching too (once you've vented it's much easier to set your mind on saving the planet). Get creative and join in the group knitting fun and have a good old natter/bitch! …. If you’ve never picked up some knitting needles, then come along and give it ago. If you’re a veteran knitter, come along and share your knowledge with those less experienced …

Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling case that global warming is real, man-made, and its effects will be catastrophic if we don’t act now. It focuses his travels in support of his efforts to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Gore says, "I've been trying to tell this story for a long time and I feel as if I've failed to get the message across." The film closely follows a Keynote presentation (dubbed "the slide show") that Gore presented throughout the world. It intersperses Gore's exploration of data and predictions regarding climate change and its potential for disaster with his own story.

A 2003 Canadian documentary film that critiques the modern-day corporation, considering it as a class of person and evaluates its behaviour towards society and the world at large as a psychologist might evaluate an ordinary person.
