Its UK premiere holds the Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous film premiere in history, and made world news when the President of The Maldives used it to announce that his country would be carbon-neutral within a decade. 'The Age of Stupid' is already changing the world. It's been shown at overseas Parliaments and the UN - and now it's our turn!
