The Age of Stupid will launch in America on September 21st 2009 from a solar-powered cinema tent in New York LIVE to over 400 movie theatres across the country. This One Night Only live event is your only chance to see The Age of Stupid on the big screen and is timed for the day before the UN's climate meeting on September 22nd, when 80 Heads of State will gather in New York.

Go to your local theatre to watch the VIPs arrive in Manhattan by boat, bike, rickshaw, chipfat car or skateboard, before braving the paparazzi on the green carpet.

Following the screening, there will be a simulcast live panel discussion featuring Kofi Annan, Gillian Anderson, the film's director Franny Armstrong, the star of the film Pete Postlethwaite, and other leading thinkers, celebrities, and political figures from around the world. Audiences will hear from scientists working in the Himalayas and Indonesian rain forest via live satellite link and a group of children will speak from the very room in Copenhagen in which all our futures will be decided at the UN climate summit in December. Finally,Radiohead's Thom Yorke will wrap up the evening with a short acoustic performance.
