this is the science fiction documentary "the Age of ignorance" presents to us 2055 .
this documentary, a mixture of documentary, animation, drama, science fiction and other elements, tells us, from the perspective of Peter, the archivist who lives in 2055, that the destruction of the world is actually a consequence accumulated by mankind before 2015 AD.
the Age of ignorance is another excellent documentary focusing on global warming after the inconvenient Truth, which was released in 2006. The film was funded entirely by fundraising, featuring Peter Perthwaite Pete Postlethwaite, who plays Tyrannosaurus rex hunter in the lost World: Jurassic Park sequel.
the film starts from the moment of the Big Bang 13 billion years ago, with the rapid change of time numbers at the bottom of the picture, the formation of galaxies, the birth of Earth and life, and human evolution. Played it back like time travel...
until the picture is fixed in the ruins of 2055, when the earth has been devastated by natural and man-made disasters, the world is nearly doomed.
the cultural relics of mankind are preserved on an artificial floating island in the global archives north of Norway. There are works of art from various national museums, as well as piles of animal specimens. In the huge database server, every book and every scientific report is kept.
Pete Bolthwaite, an elderly archivist, sits in the isolated archives of human civilization, flipping through pre-2015 images. looks back on the past (that is, modern) human destruction and numbness to the environment with a calm and detached attitude, ruining the collective stupidity of the future with one hand.
are you familiar with news that are already historical archives?
in the face of these increasingly frequent news, we seem to have become numb.
A lot of people don't know what's going on on Earth, and maybe they don't care.
the stupid Age shows us how today's human beings abuse natural resources and destroy the environment against sustainable development by flipping through historical news materials.
the film takes oil companies as the representative of human consumption of the earth.
the natural gas combustion chimneys throughout the Niger Delta are burning day and night. Obviously, the natural gas that can be used by local residents cannot be transported and sold, and the oil companies are unwilling to spend money on building refining facilities for local people to use. It was burned helplessly, while releasing harmful gases.
behind the greed for oil is global consumerism.
documentaries switch between six characters from very different backgrounds, who have their own pursuit of the world, but are subtly linked by energy and environmental issues.
22-year-old Nigerian girl Layefa is bent on becoming a doctor to improve local backward medical conditions. Because the construction of oil drilling by Shell not only did not bring a rich and healthy life to the local people, but also made their environment worse, disease-prone, and even the fish they ate were soaked in oil.
Young Indian entrepreneur Jewadia started low-cost airlines in the hope that more than a billion poor people can also get on cheap planes. Seizing the business opportunity to realize his dream of cheap aviation, he created wealth, realized the employment of Indians and changed people's way of life, but ignored the harm to the environment caused by a large amount of carbon emissions.
Iraq and other regions are coveted by developed countries because they are rich in oil. The war has brought serious disasters to the people and indelible damage to the environment. The Iraqi brother and sister, whose father died in the war, make a living by recycling old shoes from Europe and the United States.
