Dans le lit du Rhône (The River's Bed) - ST - En

MELANIE PITTELOUD | DOC | 01:28 | SWITZERLAND English The river Rhône has been straitjacketed for 150 years, its course controlled and its life diminished by its human neighbors. But the river has not yet been tamed! Following disastrous floods, a vast construction project is in the process of revitalizing this unruly waterway, developing a more fertile and natural bed for river life while also protecting its human and non-human cohabitants of the Valais (Wallis). This engaging and lyrical film is a journey that prompts a universal questioning of our past and future relationship with nature and territory. French: De sa source au lac Léman, le Rhône a été corseté depuis 150 ans, apparemment dompté par les humains. Mais le fleuve n'a pas dit son dernier mot! Suite à des inondations catastrophiques, un gigantesque chantier s'emploie à le revitaliser en lui redonnant de l'espace. Ce film engageant et poétique en compagnie d'habitants liés au destin du Rhône est un voyage qui invite à un questionnement universel sur nos relations à la nature et au territoire.
