Sailing in the wake of Darwin,
200 years later.

WHAT

Charles Darwin’s book Voyage of the HMS Beagle is a magestic description of the state of the world in the early XIXth century. How has the world evolved ever since? That’s the question I want to answer. To do that, I’ll need a boat and some time. I calculated that the trip would take 4 years… that’s a hell of a long trip, but why not? Once I’ll have a boat, I’ll just need to learn how to sail… and off we go!
I’ll sail from places to places, following Darwin’s route starting from Plymouth and then circumnavigating the whole WORLD! Along the way, I’ll meet the scientists who study natural life to understand how Nature has evolved in 200 years. Through this powerful comparison, I aim at answering this question: can Nature and mankind adapt fast enough to survive the on-going climate change?

WHERE

WHO

I’m Victor Rault, I just turned 30 years-old. I’ve been working as a documentary filmmaker for 7 years. In 2014 and 2015, I lived nearly 2 years in Greenland on a boat with the Under The Pole team, including 5 months stuck in the arctic sea ice. In 2017, we crossed the Northwest Passage from Greenland to Alaska. In 2018 and 2019, I spent much time in French Polynesia, diving and documenting the life of the reef.
From all these adventures, I brought back images that toured the world, both on TV and Internet.
I firmly believe that documentary films can change people’s perspective on life. I’m set to show Nature’s richness, fragility and resilience to inspire the public to have a lesser carbon impact on planet Earth.
