CUEILLIR LES ÎLES

A documentary series across Vancouver Island and its archipelagos6 × 44 min | Hosted by Ariane Paré-Le Gal

Gather

Ariane Paré-Le Gal travels across Vancouver Island and its surrounding archipelagos, discovering a territory through what can be gathered, shared and passed on.

Ecosystems

Rainforests, shorelines, islands and meadows. Each ecosystem holds its own resources, rhythms and ways of understanding the living world.

Knowledge

Foragers, scientists, Indigenous knowledge holders and island residents reveal what becomes visible when we learn to read a place through those who know it intimately.

Connections

From Quebec’s boreal forest to Canada’s Pacific coast, the journey explores how distant ecosystems, cultures and ways of living can speak to one another.
