THE BOUDEUSE DISCOVERS THE WATER PEOPLES
Director : Patrice Franceschi

This documentary series follows the expedition of the three-masted schooner, “La Boudeuse”, and of the explorer Patrice Franceschi and his crew on their voyage around the world to discover the “water peoples”. Bound together by the geography of water and the inaccessibility of their coastal areas, these minority ethnic groups are the remnants of a vanishing world the cultures of which constitute some of the riches of our planet. From the Macuje of the Columbian Amazon to the ancient boutres seafarers from the coast of Yemen, with a stopover to meet the Saa of Vanuatu, the aim of the series is to highlight the importance of  exchanges between different cultures.
