Vous serez parés pour le vent

In Saint Pierre et Miquelon, a tiny French archipelago in the North Atlantic, a group of teenagers have just graduated from high school. Urged to continue their studies, it's time to leave for mainland France and Canada. Manon, Evie, Enguerrand and their friends are about to spend their last summer on the islands together. In the turmoil that precedes this leap into the void, these budding adults, like previous generations, are confronted with this particular moment in their lives. They'll have to leave. But they are islanders, and this departure has the air of exile, of uprooting with no certainty of return. As they leave adolescence, they will be uprooted from their land, crossing a border that is both symbolic and physical. The idea is that something happens here that is more observable than elsewhere, something that concentrates and accelerates the transformations of the teenagers' personalities.

Du Chocolat Pour Sauver l'Amazonie

The Amazon is the river of superlatives: the longest - 7,025 km, the most powerful, the most indomitable - no dam possible over hundreds of kilometres. Its waters cross the largest tropical forest in the world: the Amazon, “the lungs of the earth”. Going against the current of this gigantism, this documentary is betting on approaching this extraordinary natural space through one of its tiniest productions: the cocoa bean. Scientists, chocolate makers, producers and farmers, many are those who, faced with the deforestation of this unique ecosystem, use this chocolate seed to recreate, on a small scale, human exploitations in harmony with nature. This film tells us about the fight of those who decided to make cocoa the spearhead of environmental defense in Brazil.

When Big Tech Targets Healthcare

"Cure and eliminate all diseases by the end of the century": this is the ambition of Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, pediatrician Priscilla Chan, through their foundation, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. For several years now, the Web giants have been investing massively in the world of medicine. While Google is developing an artificial intelligence capable of competing with the best practitioners, Apple is allowing everyone to monitor their health thanks to connected objects, while Amazon is taking over the telemedicine and health insurance markets via Amazon Care, its assistance service. These tech behemoths are banking on the exploitation of health data, the "new black gold", to improve care, reduce costs and prevent illness. But can we trust them with this information blindly?

Sleeping Giants: Europe's Restless Volcanoes

All over Europe, the ground is rumbling. The eruption of Cumbre Vieja on the Spanish archipelago of the Canary Islands in 2021 and that of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland in 2010 are here to remind us that the Old Continent isn’t safe from major volcanic events. Their consequences, whether human, economic, or environmental, can turn out to be disastrous for the populations. In total, Europe comprises around one hundred active volcanoes, of which about thirty are located within the territory of the European Union. All have experienced at least one eruptive phase in the last 10,000 years and are hence considered by the scientific community to be potentially dangerous to this day. Should these sleeping monsters ever awake, they would cause huge disasters, as most of them are in highly populated areas such as the Eifel volcanic zone in Germany or Mount Vesuvius right next to the city of Naples in Italy.

The Day Stockholm Became a Syndrome

On August 23, 1973 a bank robbery at the Kreditbank in Stockholm went badly wrong. It turned into a hostage situation which lasted six days, and gave its name to a phenomenon. Stockholm Syndrome is a way of describing the emotional bonds which some people can form with a captor or abuser. And it all started in that bank in Stockholm. During the siege, despite being held against their will in a dangerous situation, the four hostages bonded with the bank robbers and turned against the police. They continued to defend their captors after their release and refused to testify against them. In fact, they even raised money for the bank robbers’ defence. This survival mechanism came to be known as “Stockholm Syndrome.” In this film, nearly fifty years after the events, we hear directly from the hostages, bank robbers and police and find out what happened during those six eventful days.
