DOCUMENTARY

 

Trees: a Global Superpower

The documentaries broadcasted in the France 5 scientific slot in prime time, Science Grand Format, are unique programmes. They take us through adventures and scientific investigations where passionate specialists interpret the world we are living in. Trees: a Global Superpower (1x90’), produced by Hauteville Productions, will be broadcasted in this France 5 slot. Grounded in the latest scientific research, this film reveals a world hitherto undetected. With spectacular photography and exceptionally beautiful animation, Emmanuelle Nobécourt takes us on an international journey, from the molecular to the planetary scale, transforming our perception of these vegetal giants.

 

Extreme Lands

When nature rages, humanity excels.  Extreme Lands (6x52’) produced by Pernel Media, explains our planet’s most spectacular natural phenomena and examines human inventions designed to deal with them. The documentary series explores territories as varied than passionate: Chile, Iceland, California, Japan, Arabian Peninsula and Central America.
 

The blue zones longevity

Living better and longer: that is the challenge successfully met in intriguing regions known as “blue zones”, home to the greatest number of hundred-year-olds. The blue zones longevity (4x52’), produced by La Famiglia, follows a naturopath chef and a family practitioner who try to solve the mystery of this longevity, setting out to discover 4 regions: Okinawa (Japan), Ikaria (Greece), Nuoro Province (Sardinia) and Nicoya Peninsula (Costa Rica). Biology, genetics, social links, environment, physical exercise and diet: all these things are examined to answer a key question: what are the secrets of the longevity of these blue zone’s inhabitants?

 

China Express

 In 1978, China decided to reform its cultural and industrial policies, and open up to the world. 40 years on, a China Express (6x52’), produced by Etoile Noire, celebrates and examines this new open society with a series of surprising journeys to explore the riches of the ‘Middle Kingdom’.  China’s Xu Li and France’s Jérémy travel the length and breadth of China in the course of six thematic journeys with more than 30 stopovers. China proves modern and dynamic, but still in touch with its ancestral cultures and traditions.
