A drama-documentary-animation hybrid which stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching archive footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?

Shot in seven countries over a period of three years, the film features six separate documentary stories, archive footage and lots of animation.

The film will be followed by a discussion led by Shirley Ford, the Green Party Euro candidate in the forthcoming Euro election for the North East.
