Arte documentary "Au temps du Mayflower" by Chris Eyre

There is a very interesting documentary that was recently broadcast by Arte called "Au Temps du Mayfloyer" by Chris Eyre: it will remain available and free to be watched again only until February 13 on Arte's website from this link:

http://plus7.arte.tv/fr/1697660,CmC=3048212,scheduleId=3027260.html

Here is a summary taken from Arte's website:

En mars 1621, dans ce qui deviendra le sud-est du Massachusetts, le grand sachem de la tribu des Wampanoag, Massasoit, décide de négocier avec un groupe de colons anglais en déroute. Comme ces immigrants en proie à la faim et la maladie, son peuple a un besoin urgent d'alliés, car il a été décimé par une épidémie inconnue, ce qui le rend vulnérable aux attaques de ses voisins Narragansett. Une réelle amitié va se nouer entre le chef indien et l'un des leaders de la communauté anglaise, Charles Winslow. Cinquante ans plus tard, le fils de Massasoit, Phillip, voit le territoire de ses ancêtres diminuer comme peau de chagrin. Il parvient à unifier les tribus voisines pour mener la guerre aux Blancs, remportant d'abord une série de victoires. Mais en 1676, le jeune chef est vaincu. Sa tête, fichée sur une pique, restera exhibée pour l'exemple à Plymouth. Cinq mille Indiens sont tués, tandis que femmes et enfants sont vendus comme esclaves.

M1 and M2 groups

Dear students,

There will be no exam in English for the first semester as we could not have enough class sessions and a replacement could not be found.

For the M1 groups, class will resume as planned on February 12 on Friday evenings (same room and same hours)

Regards,

MN
