World Premiere and Exclusive Audience Q&A with the Director
Don’t Look Up – Again is a satirical documentary film about how humanity avoided the greatest catastrophe in our history. Inspired by Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up, it asks the question “what if we just looked up, saw the comet coming, and did something about it?”
Humanity is now in a climate crisis. To prevent the next mass extinction, we must act, and with urgency. Don’t Look Up – Again imagines a world where we did just that. In interviews with over 20 media personalities and grassroots activists, Don’t Look Up – Again tells the story of how they brought about “the first major act of climate solidarity the world ever saw.” “We had to do something that wouldn’t be ignored,” says one TV anchor. They weighed up what they were going to lose – career, status, wealth – and decided it was a price worth paying. They made climate change the main story every night. At the same time activists of all kinds and all ages stepped-up climate action. This went on until governments listened. The film’s young interviewer tells us bluntly “for my whole life, CEOs, politicians, economists, and certain media have said or implied that saving the planet was off the table because we couldn’t afford it. But that was a lie!”
In addition to being a thought-provoking (and fun) satire in its own right, Don't Look Up - Again serves as a launchpad for Youth Spring: The Movie, a very real activist experiment that engages young people to embrace the power they have to affect climate policy and rewrite the future left to them by the capitalist "adults in the room."
So, don’t miss this exciting ZNetwork premiere of Don’t Look Up – Again and the opportunity for a Q&A with the film’s director, Lonnie Ray Atkinson.
