- Sicily has always been considered as a strategic location in the heart of Mediterranée. "Bay Wolf" is a story of powerful men, politics, pollution, oil sites and dramatic consequences that resulted in one of the most beautiful coast of Sicily.
- Nowadays, and more than ever, the Christian community in Iraq is at risk of disappearing. Formerly protected by Saddam Hussein, since the end of the dictatorial regime, they have been suffering persecutions lead by small groups of fundamentalist Muslims. This ethnic religious group, however present in Iraq since the beginnings of Christianity seems to be paying the price of the American presence in Iraq. Nearly a million in 1980, there are only 500,000 Christians in the country nowadays, while one million live in Diaspora. This massive Exodus through the country towards Kurdistan, from the bordering countries towards Turkey and Jordan or even towards the United States, endangers their existence in Iraq. This tragic situation, which was ignored from the international media for long, is nowadays a known fact, since the terrorist attack on the Bagdad Cathedral on 31 October 2010. But the media depend on the news. The aim of this documentary is to deeply study the situation of Christians in Iraq, their long history and their endangered future. In fifty years, the Iraqi Jewish community has totally disappeared. Will the same phenomenon happen to the Christian minority?
- Palm oil is a cause of massive deforestation in Indonesia. Through habitat destruction, indigenous populations and entire ecosystems are directly threatened. In Borneo and Sumatra, NGOs and local individuals take action on site: they show us how much has been lost already, but also that solutions exist to counter this absurd destruction. Thus they help us believe that every initiative counts.
- The "magyal" is, in Yemen, a daily gathering where friends chew the "kât" together, talking and listening to music or poetry. A musician is showing us his instrument, the ancient lute, which can only be found now in Yemen and in the Comoros; the "qanbus" or "Sana Oeûd", at the harmony table which has been covered with goat skin. The singer can enhance his lyric poetry by hitting out a crystal-like sound from a copper tray. In the Yemeni society music can't be separated from poetry. The words of the song must be fully understood to feel the emotion conveyed by the singer. The Bedouin clarinet player is playing a last tune on views of the towered-houses of the old town of Sana. Silence takes over when dawn gradually switches from darkness to daylight. Then profane music is replaced by the muezzins' sacred music, their voices echoing each other from one minaret to another.
- Raï swept over Algeria in the early 1980s. A few years later, the leading figures of this musical movement: Cheb Khaled, Cheb Mami, Chaba Fadela set out to conquer France where they imposed themselves. Algeria then finds itself in an impasse of which the riots of 1988 will be the social echo; aspiring to a liberalization of morals, it suffocates under an ideological and moral yoke. For the first time, the raï, born in the territory of Oran, dared to express with force the misery of life, the aspirations of youth, but also the intoxication of the senses. Drawing from the source of their culture, young singers claim to be the heirs of the chioukhs, these artists of the beginning of the century who sang the classic texts of Bedoui and popular Arab-Andalusian poetry, in order to affirm the expression of the Arabic language to provide the cultural weapons of the nascent Algerian nationalism. With the death of Cheb Hasni, with the threats hanging over the artists and forcing them into exile, the terrorists think they have triumphed, but raï sets out to conquer the world, allowing millions of people to better understand Algeria. , an Algeria bruised and more creative than ever. Algeria, El Djazaïr, in love with freedom has given the world forever the raï as a heritage.
