Nature in crisis: landmark report reveals plummeting British wildlife (25 mins) 2023
The State of Nature report was first published a decade ago. Then, 1 in 10 species were at risk of extinction. Today it's 1 in 6.
The report says we know what to do to reverse these losses but we’re currently going in the wrong direction.
Main feature from about 7pm: Once You Know (1h 44 minutes) - 2020
A powerful multi-award winning documentary on energy depletion, runaway climate change, and our capacity for personal and collective resilience in the face of the collapse that has begun.
Today, like a ship entering the storm, the world faces climate change induced collapse. Filmmaker and activist Emmanuel Cappellin shapes a poetic and poignant exploration of how four of the world’s leading climate scientists and energy experts find truth, chaos, and hope in their work.
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.
Faced with the reality of climate change and the depletion of resources, director Emmanuel Cappellin is aware that a collapse of our industrial civilization is inevitable. But how can we continue to live with the idea that the human adventure may fail? In search of answers, he sets out to meet experts and scientists such as Pablo Servigne, Jean-Marc Jancovici, and Susanne Moser. They all call for collective and united action in order to prepare a transition that is as humane as possible.
Once you know… what do we do? From knowledge to action.
