2005, 48 minutes. French.

The tall ship Sedna sets sail at Rimouski in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and heads upstream to explore the health of the inland waterways that cut through the North American continent. In this episode of a five-part series, accompanied by Cajun troubadour Zachary Richard, we join the ship in Toronto, on Lake Ontario, follow the Great Lakes to Chicago and descend the Mississippi River to St. Louis. We cross infamously polluted rivers and canals and get attacked by the jumping Asian carp that wipe out most other species as ascend the Mississippi and try enter the Great Lakes.
