The Age of Stupid finally says out loud what climate scientists have been saying for years now: we are running out of time to fix this problem, with nothing less than the fate of the human race hanging in the balance.

The film will be released internationally on September 21st and 22nd at the "Global Premiere". A green carpet, solar-powered cinema tent in New York will be linked by satellite to 442 cinemas across the USA and to more than 200 cinemas in 45+ other countries.

In addition to the launch of the film tonight, Monday, September 21st 2009, they are looking to become the Largest One Night Screening of a Film Flipping EVER--seriously, they are aiming to break the Guinness Book of World Records. They are now in over 700 theaters in over 62 countries with over 1 million viewers. This film is another example of the power of social networks. The film was “Crowd Funded” by 220 people who invested in advance for a share of the profits.

"A much sterner and more alarming polemic than “An Inconvenient Truth,” “The Age of Stupid,” directed by Franny Armstrong, will be taken by some as an emergency wake-up call to do everything possible to avert impending catastrophe." The New York Times
