Once You Know, is an award-winning film by Emmanuel Cappellin in collaboration with Anne-Marie Sangla. Inspired by the Work That Reconnects, Extinction Rebellion and Collapsology. This film is a deeply personal exploration of coming to terms with crisis, collapse, and active hope in these disturbing times.
Director Emmanuel Cappellin’s quest leads him around the world to meet five of the world’s leading climate scientists and energy experts. They share with him the truth, chaos, and hope in their work allowing him to challenge everything he took for granted – from growth-based democracies to personal freedoms.

What people have to say about this film:
“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. Unforgettable portraits of climate leaders in Bangladesh, France, and the US, help make our own choices clear. They leave me feeling inspired to lead a life that is relevant to this global movement.” –Joanna Macy, featured in A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of Our Time
“Extraordinary and necessary film. A poetic journey into the teeth of collapse that leaves us with one question: how will I comport myself during this time?” –Dahr Jamail, author of The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the path of Climate Disruption
“A beautiful, heart-breaking, and ultimately affirming journey into the grim future we all face. Once You Know confronts our global trajectory of ecological and civilizational collapse and doesn’t flinch or reach for false hope, but helps find a way to live with a truth we cannot unsee.” –Roy Scranton, Author of Total Mobilization: World War II and American Literature
