Produced by Parafilms and No Water Studios with the support of TV5
A sensitive, poetic, naturalist documentary focusing on the experience and personal evolution of a group of international citizens on their 12,000 km maritime adventure.
Gathered around common goals, in a mission full of meaning, the crew of the Atlas sailboat sets out to meet the threatened ecosystems of the Arctic seas to capture important scientific data on marine life, and more specifically on whales, plankton and microplastics. A human adventure, motivated by participatory science, adventure and surpassing oneself.
