In Vanuatu, different species of pigs hold a varying significance. The rare species of pigs with tusks are considered a symbol of wealth, while the hairless species are perceived as sacred. In fact, pigs are often sacrificed as a crucial part of rites in Vanuatu, and even treated and exchanged as a currency.

Take a close look at the ceremonies and listen to what their pigs mean to ni-Vanuatu nationals.

Rediscover the forest through the fresh viewpoint of a Papuan chief born in Papua New Guinea: Mundiya Kepanga, the "child of the forest". This traditional storyteller unveils the extent of the deforestation that has drastically accelerated in his country in recent years.

Following his journey as an environmental defender, from his own village to the largest international symposiums, the film delivers a new way to look at the planet: our forests are a universal heritage that we have to save.

Committed to this cause, Mundiya Kepanga becomes an ambassador of the forest and the voice of indigenous people. A call to protect the world’s primal forests, reminding us that we are all the brothers of the trees.

Nestled on the Caribbean Sea, Jacmel is a small harbor town known for preserving Haiti’s rich culture and arts. Its vibrant carnival endures every storm and crisis, showcasing the resilient spirit of its people.

The town bursts with life through popular dances like Rara and various rural events, where the community comes together to celebrate. Voodoo religion itself features multiple rhythms and dances, each telling a unique story and honoring ancestors.

Dancing in Jacmel is more than just movement; it's a way of conveying messages and narrating history. The Rara dance, originating from the Taino Indians, evokes memories of a harsh and complicated past for many Haitians. Today, it symbolizes the resilience and hope of a people living with their history while building their future.

In Southern Benin lies Lake Nokoué, a shimmering lagoon linked to the Atlantic Ocean. Centuries ago, the Tofin people sought refuge from slavery and found salvation on these waters. Here, they built Ganvié, the "African Venice," a floating village whose name means "Here, I’m saved." This unique haven, rich with history and resilience, is where Marc Thiercelin embarks on an unforgettable journey to meet the Tofin community and uncover their incredible story of survival and ingenuity.Documentary: People of the Sea – Ep 18 : Benin (2018)Directed by: Matthieu MailletProduction : Découpages & ARTE FranceWe fully own the rights to the use of the published content.
