This documentary “L’Autre voyage” on Bali by Christine Oberdorff and David Guersan is the anti-tourism magazine par excellence. Everything is done here to dissuade us from going to this Indonesian island. We are faced with two aspects of Bali. On the one hand, the escape destination very popular with tourists from all over the world, the high concentration of 4 or 5 star hotels, well-being holidays in spirituality fashion, a unique cultural heritage, a welcoming population. And on the other, an enormous tourist density, a pollution, which is linked to it, incredible, but also a great poverty of the inhabitants, forced to work very many hours to satisfy international travelers, bringing the currencies, essential to their survival. . It is difficult to adhere to the bias of the directors, who forget, in the inconveniences, the inevitable travel by plane and its carbon footprint but also the attractive prices of this destination, which has not finished attracting holidaymakers .

Winter has just arrived in France so a dive in the lagoons and the sun of Mauritius is welcome. Mauritius is located not far from Reunion and the Seychelles. Jérôme Pitorin does well to meet wealthy tourists on the Ile aux Cerfs golf course but does not forget the discoveries with the locals. We see a real awareness among the inhabitants of this flagship tourist destination who are keen to present visitors with their “real” Mauritius, while preserving its treasures. Deserted during the health crisis, Mauritius saw its corals renew themselves, but in July 2020, the sinking of a Japanese boat hit the paradisiacal beaches hard, leading to a global mobilization of its population for their cleaning. Today, there are many initiatives to preserve nature and reveal biodiversity with the greatest respect for all.

Around the world, thousands of women are dying simply because they are women. We are no better off in France because, every day, 200 women die of cardiovascular disease, a figure 14% higher than that of men. Admittedly, women are still living longer, but this advantage is diminishing from year to year. This documentary by Véronique Préault deciphers the reasons for this observation: they are overworked, always having to juggle their professional career, the education of children and family life. Also, after divorce or separation, they are often in a precarious financial situation. As a result, they are less well diagnosed than men, less quickly treated. This investigation succeeds in opening our eyes and forces us all to find solutions.
