The Thousands

This is the movie you must see. Not ‘must see’ in a latest blockbuster or Oscar buzz kind of way (though a nod for Best Documentary certainly wouldn’t go astray), but rather a film that you simply must watch – as a human being and a citizen of this planet. Yes, we at the Thousands like to have fun, but sometimes there are issues that warrant real attention, and, like it or lump it, climate change is one such issue.

Don’t worry though – you’re not in for another Al Gore-style doom-n-gloom powerpoint lecture. Age of Stupid is a fast-paced, cleverly edited, high impact doco: an enjoyable ride regardless of the urgency of its content matter. However urgency really is the key word here. Even for those of us who consider ourselves aware, this film will have you shaking in your boots (and hopefully shaking your proverbial fists) at our inability to get it together and tackle this climate demon before it’s too late.
