rougier marie's insight:
"Les Nouveaux Explorateurs est une émission de reportages qui nous emmène à la découverte de nouveaux horizons à travers les yeux d'explorateurs divers. Chacun apporte un regard différent sur un pays et un thème particulier de son choix, avec une volonté de voir la réalité en face, tout en évitant les clichés.
Le but de l'émission est de nous faire voir les choses autrement. Ces globe-trotters sillonnent le monde, de l'Est à l'Ouest et du Nord au Sud, pour partir à la découverte de gens qui font la société. Ils nous communiquent ainsi cette envie de partir explorer le monde, comme eux."
et en replay sur ce site pour rien rater ;)
