Lizzie’s campaign to save the climate
NZ Inspired, a British magazine for NZ ex-pats, has an article this month on Kiwi film maker and Green Party candidate Lizzie Gillett. Lizzie has just finished creating the climate change blockbuster, The Age of Stupid. The film features Pete Postlethwaite in the year 2055:
watching archive footage from 2007 (documentary footage of six characters from around the world affected by different environmental issues, as well as news stories and animations) and asking: “why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?”
Lizzie is hoping the film will help snap people out of our ‘environmental malaise’.
The total aim in making this film is to cut emissions. And the only reason we want to have a big hit is to get more viewers and try to change international legislation.

No-one’s perfect and there are no evil baddies, despite what some people seem to think. If George Bush was the problem, it would be much easier to solve. But everyone’s part of it, so everyone’s got to, work together to solve it.
