Highlights
Fighting the future pandemics
Covid-19 has officially claimed at least six million lives so far. Yet, researchers predict that this could be just the beginning, as at least 10,000 other viruses can potentially infect humans.
However, to date, these pathogens have only been able to reproduce in animal hosts. Species extinction directly triggers epidemics, making the fight for more biodiversity an absolute necessity.
Fearless virus hunters are on the frontline in Malaysia, Cambodia, Congo, and Europe to protect the world from another pandemic.
TENDERNESS IN THE SAVANNAH [52’]
An episode from the series
THE INCREDIBLE AFRICAN WILDLIFE
We often think that in the savannah, there is only one law: that of the predators.
But in truth, these moments of spectacular fury are brief, with interludes of peace, harmony, and even tenderness. There are also the mothers’ infinite attention and patience, the fathers’ benevolence, the games played by the siblings, and the couples who bear witness to their mutual attachment.
This film invites us to discover another savannah that may be a little idyllic but undeniably soothing.

At a time when war is front-page news, peace heroes become indispensable.
DIVAS [52’]
The voices or Arabic music
The "golden age" of culture in the Arab world, which lasted from the 1920s to the 1970s, saw women play a crucial role. They took over music, song, cinema, literature, the radio, and the press, and thrilled and enthralled diverse peoples, from Baghdad to Casablanca.
These women, some of whom remain giants in their own right, are symbols of a bygone era but also models and sources of inspiration for many contemporary Arab artists.
IN THE LAND OF THE BLACK BEE [52’]
The turbulent life of a swarm
On the gentle slopes of a mountain, between the green ferns, sits a hive inhabited by hundreds of little black bees.
Through the four seasons, this film follows the life of a swarm from the inside. We witness the awakening in the spring, the rearing of new queens, the nuptial flight of the virgin queens and the subsequent ban of bumblebees, the massacre of the males, the pollination, and then, little by little, with the coming of winter, the return to the great sleep.
This film is an epic story set in a tiny wooden box.

THE LAST CONVOY [52’]
The moving story of French-resistance women fighters deported to Auschwitz
They were mothers, daughters, members of the Resistance, communists for the most part, whose only "crime" was to have risen against the Nazis.
These 230 anonymous heroines, forgotten by history, were deported one morning in January 1943 in a convoy known as the "31000" in reference to the number tattooed on their arms. They made up the only non-Jewish French train sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau. From this journey to hell, only 49 returned.
Without women, the Internal Resistance could never have existed, yet they were quickly forgotten, history having only remembered the men's fight.
