  • « A triumph. With rare aesthetic taste, it delivers the facts about our accelerating climate chaos with an almost tender respect for those of us confronting the crisis » – Joanna Macy
  • « A beautiful, heart-breaking, and ultimately affirming journey into the grim future we all face » – Roy Scranton
  • « A poetic journey into the teeth of collapse that leaves us with one question: how will I comport myself during this time? » – Dahr Jamail

ONCE YOU KNOW is the intimate journey of director Emmanuel Cappellin across the abyss of a world at the edge of climate-induced collapse. His voyage into this uncharted territory is that of a whole generation turning to climate scientists, local democracy, grassroots initiatives, and mass rebellion in a courageous search for an exit.

Once you know… what do we do? From knowledge to action.

To transform your screening experience into action, discover our impact guide and use it jointly with the film.
Our guide addresses issues related to climate change, energy, collapse, and resilience. It allows anyone to facilitate post-screening discussions, thanks to tools  inspired by methods from “The Work that reconnects”, developed by American ecopsychologist Joanna Macy. This method helps you to get through difficult emotions in the face of collapse, and to use them as a driving force to move forward.
