Premise is flawed. Ignorance is not the problem. Ignorance is the absence of knowledge. Today, there is really no excuse for ignorance on a given topic. If you want to know about the environment, politics, economics; there is more than enough freely available knowledge.
The mistake made here is thinking that ignorance is the opposite of wisdom. That is incorrect. Stupidity is the opposite of wisdom, and wisdom only comes through experience.
Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge.
Thanks for the comment! I think you're right BUT would like to point out that the film is defining "ignorance" as "knowing the issues, but actively ignoring them" - Which is in fact antithetical to applying wisdom and thinking critically.
Thanks for the promote.

So where are you, Chaos? (Just saw your Yosemite post.... )
Christchurch, New Zealand. It's another beautiful part of the world (well, Christchurch itself is somewhat messes up since the earthquake last year, but the south island is pretty special).
