Overview

The Zambezi is one of the world's great rivers, yet apart from the spectacular Victoria Falls, large parts of its course are virtually unknown. Never before has this mighty river been portrayed so comprehensively on film as in this two-part series. The Zambezi flows through the continent's most magnificent ecosystems and offers a glimpse of all the classic African animal species. It forms a lifeline through Africa's most impressive landscapes and determines the fate of the indigenous people and all other forms of life.

Les Lumières de Vallot

Aug 16, 2025

Joseph Vallot, geographer, naturalist and mountaineer born in 1854 in Lodève, was a visionary man, full of humor and whose curiosity was insatiable. He had spent some forty years of his life studying the Mont Blanc massif, sacrificing a good part of his fortune to this multifaceted passion. He was notably the first to demonstrate that one could sleep, work and even do science at an altitude of over 4000 meters, at a time when ascents to the summit of Western Europe were still adventurous expeditions. This documentary tribute follows in his footsteps, via the route taken at the time, on foot from Chamonix via the Grands Mulets refuge to the summit of Mont Blanc to the Joseph Vallot observatory nestled at an altitude of 4400m, with a team of guides, journalists and scientists.
