We are pleased to announce the first television broadcast of the documentary film THE SPIRITS MOUNTAIN by Hugo Rousselin :
Wednesday february 4th, 2026 – Guyane la 1ère
A coproduction Dynamo Production et France Télévisons.
The documentary follows Lucien Civette, a prominent figure of the Teko people, as he journeys up the Camopi River in French Guiana. Accompanied by young Tekos, he traces back the path of old villages now-vanished to the time to rekindle an essential mythical and historical memory. This journey is as much of a transmission gesture as an invitation, to the audience, to radically rethink their gaze on the Amazon rainforest: an inhabited territory, shaped over centuries, far away from the persistent myht of the “virgin forest”.
The broadcast was followed by a panel discussion featuring Jammes Panapuy, representative of the Teko people; Damien Davy, an anthropologist at the CNRS; and Hugo Rousselin, the documentary’s writer and director. This provided an opportunity to share their intersecting perspectives on the cultural, political, and environmental challenges currently facing indigenous territories.
