The 21th century has put the world at our fingertips. We can now travel. The digital age has transformed our vision of the world. Everyone can share and experience, at least digitally, exotic destinations. With just a few clicks on the Internet, anyone can picture himself in one of the must-see places touted by tourism professionals, or, on the contrary, be dissuaded from visiting legendary countries.
But don’t these regions, countries or islands, traditionally seen as paradises or, as destinations to be avoided, offer, beyond the clichés and prejudices? In each of these destinations, a new generation is facing a major geopolitical and environmental challenge that radically is reshaping the relation between human and nature.
Senegalese mangrove forests embody another form of tourism. As a UNESCO worldwide site, they reflect another consideration to world, nature, and to oil, following the discovery of new deposits close to the entrance of this remarkable treasure of biodiversity. At the heart of this metamorphosis, women, bees and the spirits of this millennial heritage marked by animism, play the leading roles.
Thanks to striking images, filmed as close as possible to the populations concerned and change-makers, this series takes us on another voyage, to meet those who are inventing the world of tomorrow.
