2024. Act Up-Paris is 35 years old.

We dive into the heart of this enormous restoration site, alongside exceptionally skilled tradesmen.
The Indian Taïno people, who are almost extinct, leave a culture full of legends, sculptures and beliefs, but also a way of living, in harmony with nature, and values of sharing and solidarity. So many aspirations that appeal to certain contemporary young people. Story of a rediscovery.
