Tea War: The Adventures of Robert Fortune
Robert Fortune (voice - english)
In the 19th century, China held the monopoly on tea, which was dear and fashionable in the West, and the British Empire exchanged poppies, produced in its Indian colonies and transformed into opium, for Chinese tea. Inundated by the drugs, China was forced to open up its market, and the British consolidated their commercial dominance. In 1839, the Middle Empire introduced prohibition. The Opium War was declared… Great Britain emerged as the winner, but the warning was heeded: it could no longer depend on Chinese tea. The only alternative possible was to produce its own tea. The East India Company therefore entrusted one man with finding the secrets of the precious beverage. His mission was to develop the first plantations in Britain’s Indian colonies. This latter-day James Bond was called Robert Fortune – a botanist. After overcoming innumerable ordeals in the heart of imperial China, he brought back the plants and techniques that gave rise to Darjeeling tea.
Ватерлоо. Последняя битва
Producer
Битва при Ватерлоо - последнее крупное сражение императора французов Наполеона I, крупнейшего полководца XIX века. Сражение произошло 18 июня 1815 года. Она положила конец попытке бежавшего с острова Эльбы Наполеона Бонапарта вернуть себе французский трон (Сто дней Наполеона), вернуть себе власть во Франции, утраченную после войны против коалиции крупнейших европейских государств и восстановления в стране династии Бурбонов. В качестве противника Наполеона выступила Седьмая коалиция европейских монархов. Разбитый при Ватерлоо англо-прусским войском Наполеон был принуждён к вторичному отречению и отправлен в отдалённую ссылку на остров Святой Елены, где через шесть лет скончался.
La photo déchirée, chronique d'une émigration clandestine
Co-Producer
At the beginning of the 60's, thousands of Portuguese turned up in France through the underground. They were fleeing misery, war and repression. Left to unscrupulous smugglers, they had to cross the Iberian Peninsula tracked by the Portuguese and Spanish police. For many, the voyage towards France turned into a disaster. As a child in a shantytown, the author remembers having heard about these terrible odysseys. Thirty years later, he goes in search of the stories of his childhood and seeks to understand what sparked this unprecedented emigration known as the "plebiscite by foot" against Salazar. Between childhood memories and historical investigation, he looks for the images of this exodus, the largest in post-war Europe.
