Two films to see - In Transition and The Age of Stupid

The first embedded clip is a trailer for the film "In Transition". The J-Can network (Jersey climate action network) click this link are thinking of showing this film as a counterpoint to the horror story that is "The age of Stupid" that we are also probably going to show locally. "In Transition" shows how we can move away from a fossil fuel based economy and, in the process, maybe get back a lot of things that we have rather lost sight of in recent years.



I already mentioned "The age of Stupid" in this previous post http://nickpalmer.blogspot.com/2009/03/age-of-stupid-is-new-movie-from.html. It is the new four-year epic from McLibel director Franny Armstrong. Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

This clip is a trailer for the film although it's a bit confusing unless you know what it's about already!
