Elan blanc (1961– )
7/10
Educational mini series on North American Indians
1 September 2009
A mini series exploring at a number of aspects of north American Indian life.

The main characters are Elan Blanc (César Torres) and Moustique (Moustique) who demonstrate making a tepee, carrying children Indian-style, hunting, horse riding among others.

The narration is in the form of a conversation between the actors, and also addresses some issues of trouble with European colonisers. It includes segments apparently borrowed from other documentaries showing French sailing ships carrying colonists to American shores.

It was filmed largely in the Lac du Paty near Caromb, in the Vaucluse department in the south of France.

Overall an engaging and humorous mini-series, with an educational intent.
