We remain in the depths of the universe in the documentary series Star HuntersThis time my feet firmly on the ground.

We do not need to be keen on photography or a great expert in the “geography” of space to appreciate this journey on our lands and in the luminous depths of the universe, on the contrary! This is an initiative within everyone’s reach, even children, and especially the most impatient, that invites reflection and few excursions to wonderful places to explore around Quebec.
