(00.01.18) Presentation of our guest Sébastien Mabile and his journey. Locked down with his companion, he tells us how he lives this particular period.

(00.03.01) Sébastien looks back on the birth of his vocation for environmental law and his first militant commitments.

(00.06.16) The story of Erin Brockovich and her fight for environmental justice through Steven Soderbergh’s biopic have been a source of inspiration for his career.

(00.07.31) Sébastien Mabile tells us about the legal proceedings he initiated against the Total group.

(00.13.04) Ad Vitam Æternam, the serialized novel of Sophie Rokh.

(00.16.18) How Humans have become a geological force and how they have radically changed the Earth in 50 years. The lawyer gives us his vision of the planetary situation and the priority actions to be implemented.

(00.28.08) The Lunar Alphabet Book of Wendy Delorme.

(00.33.51) Interference by European countries in the face of the situation in Amazonia, towards a sovereignty of solidarity against a solitary sovereignty of the Brazilian State.
