Mayotte | The Hidden French Island in the Indian Ocean

France’s 101st department lies within one of the largest enclosed lagoons in the world, giving the island a remarkable natural setting. Shaped by influences from Africa, the Indian Ocean, and Europe, it has become a unique cultural crossroads. Pierre Brouwers’ documentary explores an island where rural communities preserve long-standing traditions, while an exceptional natural environment supports a diverse and often surprising range of plant and animal species.

  1. Beautiful island and people. I hope tourism doesn't ruin it. The governor should focus on high quality housing and schools for the residents.
