Dreamer 1570-1601 (E01)

Champlain’s youth was fundamental in shaping the man and his greatest dream: to build a better world in the virgin territories of North America. But how did he develop his humanist conscience, his courage and the skills that pushed him to risk his life for such an ideal? We visit Brouage in France, where the young Samuel grew up and learned to navigate, draw and fight. We then meet another key player in the drama: King Henri IV. Together, Champlain and the king lay the groundwork for New France. (TFO)
