这部混合纪录、动画、戏剧、科幻等元素的纪录片《愚昧年代》，通过一位年迈的档案保管员皮特·波斯尔思韦特（皮特·波斯尔思韦特 Pete Postlethwaite饰）的视角，向我们讲述了这位生活在的已被摧毁的未来世界中的老人，翻看公元2015年以前影像资料的悲哀和悔恨。现在所有的陨落，其实是人类在公元2015以前所累积的恶果。 　　这部描绘全球变暖带给地球致命灾难甚至毁灭的科幻色彩纪录片，根据主流科学的预测所建构。电影制作资金全部由募捐得来，它向我们敲响了意义深刻的警钟，人类本有机会拯救自己，然而却没有做到。面对即将灭亡的地球，人类难道一点都不曾在乎过？This ambitious documentary/drama/animation hybrid stars Pete Postlethwaite as an archivist in the devastated world of the future, asking the question: "Why didn't we stop climate change when we still had the chance?" He looks back on footage of real people around the world in the years leading up to 2015 before runaway climate change took place.
