Our journey to Cuba begins in its capital city Havana, a city of architecture and sea. The sea that Ernest Hemingway loved so much, and the city that he fell in love with as soon as he saw it, so much so he decided to make his home here, today it is a museum that must be visited in his honour. A deep and profound union between men and the sea can be found in the Santeria and in Yemaya, the Dea madre of the Yoruba and of all of the Orisha, the guardian spirits of Cuba. It is the Babbalao, the person that represents the highest order of priesthood in the Santeria, who will explain to us Yemayà and the relationship that the Cubans have with the sea and underwater diving. To continue our journey between the sacred and the profane, we go along the southern coast of Cuba, to the deep waters of the Cenotes, a place that seems to be suspended between a dream and reality, where Yemayà, goddess of the sea, seems to accompany Ochun, the goddess of the freshwater rivers.

Since the 1990s, the breeders lost about 90 % of their livestock because of the continuous increase of temperatures, the shortening of the icy season. These changes have also affected the migratory paths of the reindeers and the breeders have no choice but to raise the herds in farms to keep the activity profitable.

Embark on five thrilling adventures into the wild and explore the most extraordinary landscapes as you are led though water, ice, rocks and fire alongside expedition leader and great undersea explorer Francis Le Guen and his team. "Over the course of our travels, we’ve explored many oceans... This time I take you on a voyage whose inner dimension is twofold, a fascinating journey as we delve into perhaps the most mysterious of them all; an ocean that doesn’t yet exist but is in the throes of its birth; a hidden ocean which geological convulsions in Africa are creating before our very eyes! We head off for the land of extremes... " A huge geological fracture cuts across the northeast of Africa forming the Rift Valley. But the fault stretches further south, from Tanganyika to Malawi. Lake Malawi in fact is the starting point of our expedition. In the green waters, it is no mere cliff that the divers swim along, but the underwater portion of the Great Rift fault, 50 Km wide and several thousand meters deep. Lake Malawi is one of the world’s oldest freshwater reserves, thanks to an underground river that’s been flowing into it for nearly a million years. This lake - the third largest in Africa - continues to grow by 10mm each year. In several million years, it will join with the Indian Ocean. Does the fault really end in the heart of this enormous lake? Where do these chasms lead, which may one day swallow up the lake in a gigantic waterfall? The answer may be found at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe where the Zambezi River offers an extraordinary natural phenomenon: Victoria Falls. The water plummets 170 meters down where it seems to disappear in the bowels of a rugged land. Here, the Rift splits into two branches: one that continues south and the other that veers west towards Botswana and the Okavango River. It’s the only river in the world that doesn’t flow into the sea, forming a delta where the water evaporates on the fringes of the Kalahari. But the water doesn’t simply disappear into the atmosphere... Could it sink below the desert sands?... Perhaps we’ll find the answer in Namibia, where the fault that passes beneath the delta continues. Across the Botswanian border, the crew encounters some Bushmen. They belong to the San ethnic group, the oldest people in Africa. They’re the only population to survive in the desert where it rains just once a year! But the San know where to find water beneath the sands, the precious "blue gold" that is nevertheless so abundant just a few hundred kilometers off in Lake Guinas on the edge of the Kalahari desert. The giant chasm - over 120 meters deep - awaits the divers. Formed when the limestone ceiling of a cave collapsed, it’s just the visible part of a network of underwater galleries that run through the depths. Amidst the schools of fish, the divers discover stalactites, metallic lodes exposed by the acidic water. The underwater walls shine in the light of the diving lamps; they seem covered in a coat of precious metal, while the exterior of the chasm is made of limestone. It’s a dive into a whole different world. Nothing here looks like anything we’ve ever seen before. Who knows what secrets the rift has in store deep below the African sands. The cradle of mankind may have a completely different look in a few million years when a new Mediterranean is born in its midst.

TARA OCEANS is an exceptional 3-year marine expedition around the globe gathering an unprecedented international scientific team under the auspices of the United Nations Environmental Program. Boarding expedition schooner Tara, researchers from all fields will study crucial yet still unknown marine ecosystems in order to give humanity the tools to better protect them. In the line of the pioneering spirit Darwin’s Beagle expedition, TARA OCEANS will share with the public exceptional scientific finds through four not to be missed one-hour documentaries. From Barcelona to Beirut, via Libya and Malta, Tara explores the Mediterranean. The depths of the sea have their own particular geography where currents and whirlpools form invisible "ocean provinces", but locating one, even when it’s 100km in diameter, is not an easy task. The crew deploys gliders capable of detecting the precise place where the waters of the Mediterranean turn around. These agitated waters are loaded with living organisms. An incredible variety of sea creatures is thus revealed.

From the mythological sea serpent stories to the latest scientific discoveries, this film tries to unveil the mystery surrounding the oarfish, an 8 to 10-meter-long sea snake which has rarely been seen alive and even less so in its natural habitat in deep waters.

The question arises as the recent crisis has accelerated a rupture in our society and prompted the need for change. Incidentally, it has raised awareness, especially among the younger generations, who have come to question the meaning of their actions and lives. This search for a new path has encouraged the development of Social Business. In this film, we attempt to define Social Business, look at its origins and catalysts, and grasp its challenges, such as measuring the impact, financing, and balancing between the social and business aspects. As an illustration, we have chosen Cambolac, a social business at a pivotal period of its development. It is a handicraft company located near the Angkor temples in Cambodia, founded in 2011 by a French ex-trader and asset manager in Paris, following a genuine personal revolution, who realized that Angkor remained one of the poorest regions in Cambodia despite the 3 millions yearly visitors. As for the analytical side, we have interviewed numerous professionals in Europe, the US and Cambodia, from the worlds of NGOs, Business, Consulting, Finance and Education. This movie raises more questions than it gives answers. Our goal is for it to be inspiring, thought-provoking and overall raises consciousness on today's current issues so as to build a more sustainable tomorrow.

The world has seen 4,000 geniuses in the past 2,000 years. It is they who launched the vehicle of progress driving humankind forward. But the continuation of progress depends on a steady supply of new geniuses. Therefore, head-hunting for brilliant minds goes on all over the world today. ‘Brains’ are bought and sold; child prodigies are hot-housed; attempts are even made to grow geniuses in vitro. Meanwhile, psychiatrists emphatically caution that genius is an aberration, a malfunction, a deviation from the norm.
