Vincent, who has been filming ecological mobilizations for 10 years and has gathered a community of 310,000 people on YouTube, went through a period of militant burnout before turning to naturalism and tracking. He seeks to reconnect with the living by linking himself to the fate of non-human animals, hoping to restore meaning and vigor to his commitment. Le VIVANT qui se défend! retraces his journey to find a balance between struggle and contemplation, underlining the importance of not forgetting the beauty that remains despite the destruction of the world. Through forest battles, the preservation of natural habitats and the protection of wildlife, this film is a personal and sensitive journey, linking ecological struggles and the challenges of species survival. It explores a way to live with dignity and face the challenges of the future.
