We, Children of the Living World

We, Children of the Living world is a project of transmission and legacy that carries us to the four corners of the earth, alongside a father and his two daughters : marine biologist and photographer Sébastien Ferraz, and his daughters Maëlie and Eléa.

Through the encounters along the way, the project explores one essential question: what if these age-old traditions, woven together with modern science, could help us imagine a future that is fairer, more alive, and more worth longing for ? Through the eyes of a biologist and the wonder of two children, We, Children of the Living World weaves a tender dialogue between: - Indigenous knowledge and scientific understanding, - the generations of yesterday and those of tomorrow, - humankind, nature, and the economic models we have yet to reinvent. Far beyond mere contemplation, the project brings to light concrete solutions, drawn at once from the wisdom of First People Nations and from contemporary innovation: regenerative economies, protection of the living world, sustainable ways of life, new ways of inhabiting the planet. Told across several media, We, Children of the Living World is an ode to adventure, to transmission, and to hope — whether it is lived between a father and his daughters, between two sisters and their generation, or between First People Nations and the rest of the world.

The project unfolds across four branches. Each branch has its own cultural media, shaped by the places visited and the subjects and themes explored.

First adventure : POLYNESIA

in co-production with Claire SCWHOB - BPM Productions

Based in French Polynesia for more than 25 years, Claire Schwob, manager of BPM Productions, has built solid experience over the years in the production and co-production of audiovisual and film projects alongside partners in mainland France and abroad. Recognized for her deep knowledge of the territory, she brings an authentic local imprint to every project. Her vision and her network are invaluable assets for any project seeking to take lasting root in the realities of Polynesian life.

The first adventure unfolds in Polynesia, where Sébastien and his daughters, Maëlie and Eléa, set out to meet the people of the ocean and the Polynesian people — discovering whales and coral, but also the local culture and traditions, rooted in the harmony between people and the sea.

The first episode of the series will be accompanied by a collection of traditional tales, a video game and a board game.
