00:00America, crossing the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Once upon a time, I was in the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:12From Siberia to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Let us pursue their dreams of freedom.
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often except for the end of the heroes
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:47All of them took up the torch, going further, going higher.
00:53And their dream of their reality
01:01The Americas are now here, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, which we have all dreamed of one day.
01:13May everything work together, to reach the end of destiny.
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:41Maestro, tell us, Maestro, you spoke to us about the Spanish and the French
01:44Haven't the French discovered anything?
01:46France at that time was, however, a great power
01:49Yes, but his king Francis I had some problems
01:52In fact, he had already tasked one of the great navigators of the time
01:55The Florentine Giovanni da Verrazzano
01:58To discover for him a passage to new lands
02:01Cate
02:02Verrazzano, a humanist, a scientist of rare intelligence
02:05So in January 1524, with his dauphine
02:08A ship, of course, a caravel.
02:10It will reach the continent known as America
02:13In honor of another Italian, Americo Vespucci
02:15Who, however, hadn't set foot there 20 years earlier
02:18Just a few thousand kilometers away, in Brazil
02:21And that's how we write history, children, and geography.
02:24But let's get back to Verrazzano
02:25So here we are, approaching a coastline
02:28The one from Carolina
02:35This land is surely inhabited.
02:36Take eight men with you and go on a reconnaissance mission.
02:39Be vigilant, but be careful, no acts of hostility towards the indigenous people.
02:44Understood, Commander, at your service.
02:46Give them presents
02:50Please follow the instructions I gave carefully.
02:52Remain calm and friendly
03:04We are your friends.
03:11The presents
03:19Who do you want buckets?
03:21Before us
03:24You tules
03:31As to
03:33You hold
03:34More
03:34You so much
03:41You have
03:42In
03:49Ah, thank you.
04:25The poor man, they're going to cook him to eat him.
04:42Goodbye, see you soon, goodbye.
04:45Goodbye, see you soon.
05:17He was the first to declare that the New World is a continent and that there is no
05:21no passage to the west.
05:22It took courage.
05:23First, he also said that the Earth is much larger than we think.
05:27declared the elders.
05:29Yes indeed, a truly great man, Verrazzano.
05:31And the Indians, did they also love Verrazzano?
05:35Yes, so much so that during a trip in 1528, they ended up eating it.
05:40Yes, indeed.
05:41Oh !
05:47It is likely that Francis I was never aware of the counts due to Verrazzano.
05:52He had some problems.
05:53Oh well, what do you mean, problems? But a king, I thought that wouldn't have any problems.
05:57Oh yes! He was then embroiled in a seemingly endless war with Spain.
06:02Charlequin.
06:02To top it all off, the Constable of Bourbon, the leader of the French armies, had just defected to the enemy.
06:08We had to fight again. Victory, defeat, not life.
06:12All is lost, much to our honor. You know?
06:161533.
06:17Bizarre is now showering his rival Charlequin with gold from Peru.
06:21And François believes that the exploitation of the riches of the new continent
06:24could give him the means to wage a war that is definitively victorious this time.
06:29and also to replenish its finances, which had been seriously compromised by the upkeep of all the royal residences.
06:35Chambord, especially. Chambord under construction.
06:46And you, over there!
06:49Do you think that's why I'm paying you?
07:07You see that I'm helping you?
07:23In 1534, Jacques Cartier was summoned by Francis I to resume explorations beyond the new lands.
07:29Cartier, 30, is the darling of Saint-Balo.
07:32He is an experienced navigator and has a good knowledge of the coasts of the new continent.
07:37Captain Cartier, welcome to my inn.
07:46What a handsome man you are, what a presence!
07:53Please !
07:56In the name of our King Francis I, I am recruiting crews for an expedition beyond the New World.
08:04But he'll take away all your crews, that one!
08:07And how are we going to make money from the others, huh?
08:10I don't see you letting yourself be taken advantage of.
08:16Is it what you want? For us to go and get devoured by cannibals, like Vira Zano?
08:23I am your man, Captain Cartier.
08:26Me too.
08:30These two men and everyone else here are under a fishing contract with me.
08:33Therefore, there is no question of them going on an expedition with you.
08:36So I advise you to look elsewhere.
08:57Hey everyone!
09:03Yes, Jacques Cartier clearly demonstrated the difficulties he faced in recruiting his crew.
09:07A royal decree will be required.
09:10Have mercy, good people!
09:11We, Francis I, King of France,
09:13let us order that no ship leave the port
09:15before Captain Cartier had left with his entire crew.
09:25You know, Captain, I might have the men who will make you
09:29And I will insist that they leave with you.
09:31You'll see, trust me.
09:40It's even said that treasures can be found there, so shall we go?
09:45So, on April 20, 1534,
09:48Two small ships leave Saint-Malo with 61 men on board.
09:51It will take them barely 20 days to reach the shores of Newfoundland.
09:55Then, we head back north and...
10:02But what am I doing here, can you tell me?
10:05But what am I doing in this mess?
10:13This will be the Havre of Saint-Sevran.
10:16And this, the Saint-Jacques River.
10:18Look, look, look!
10:26Here are our friends in the midst of the unknown.
10:28looking for their way through a body of water
10:30not appearing on any map.
10:37It will be Briand Island, the island of the margots.
10:58They look like big oxen with two camps in their mouths.
11:14There are too few of us.
11:16Let's go back, it could get dangerous here.
11:24No apartment, no apartment, let's arrange it.
11:31If !
11:58No, they're pretty nice in this country, aren't they?
12:01July 34, so the fur trade will be inaugurated there.
12:05He will subsequently be promoted to a very bright future.
12:08Well, those Indians are being tricked.
12:10All these beautiful furs for cheap junk.
12:12Oh no, that's not fair.
12:13You're right.
12:14Yes, but you see, these crystals, these trinkets, these seashells
12:17and copper, especially, were associated in their minds
12:20to the idea of rebirth after death.
12:22Very soon, they will be asking for other goods.
12:24for example knives and axes
12:26whose practical side did not escape him.
12:33Eh ?
12:34Ah!
12:37Water!
12:38Water!
12:40Water!
12:42Water!
12:43Water!
12:44Water!
12:44Water!
12:45Water!
12:45Water!
12:46Water!
12:46Water!
12:46Water!
12:47Water!
12:47Water!
12:48Water!
12:54Learn to go next day!
13:08The Indian chief of Onnacona is not happy
13:10that one settles on land that belongs to him.
13:13And he expresses it forcefully.
13:15I have an idea. Invite them to come aboard.
13:17We'll be able to explain things better then.
13:21Cartier will obtain permission from the chief of Onnacona to take his two sons to France.
13:25He promised to bring them back quickly.
13:33And it was on the return voyage that Cartier twice missed the St. Lawrence River.
13:38Never mind, maybe next time.
13:43I'm listening, children.
13:45Tell me, why did Jacques Cartier miss the St. Lawrence River, which was so close?
13:49And why is he zigzagging so much on the road? Explain it to us.
13:52And maestro, why did he bring the two Indian boys with him?
13:56And why do the Indians look like me? Explain it to me.
13:59That's why he missed the St. Lawrence River.
14:01Because the season was unfavorable, the currents were bad, the winds contrary.
14:05And these men had had enough; they wanted to go home.
14:14We can hardly imagine today what the knowledge of our Earth was like at that time.
14:19Here, I'll show you something.
14:21And this is the most perfect, most detailed map of the time.
14:25And look at the coasts of America? A line.
14:28Behind, nothing. The unknown.
14:30Do you understand?
14:33I'm going to show you another card. Here.
14:37Twenty years later, in 1550, see here the west coasts of the continent are defined.
14:42And what do we see?
14:43Japan is here, China is there, India is there, and Florida, look at Florida.
14:48And in the north, anything goes.
14:50This is how we saw the Earth.
14:53And that's why pioneers like Cartier and others were so valuable.
14:57They were discovering our planet.
15:01The young Indians, oh, they went back with them to America.
15:05In 1535, during their stay in France, they learned the language and Cartier relied on them.
15:11to help him during his next expeditions.
15:14This time they have the Great Ermine equipped with twelve cannons.
15:17of the Petite Hermine, of the Émerillon and 112 men officers to sailors plus a writer on board.
15:22I'm not unfamiliar with that one.
15:27Ah, well that's easier.
15:30Tell me, what are you writing there?
15:32Give, I'll tell you about our trip.
15:36Today, the thirteenth day of August 1535,
15:39We are entering a bay that our captain has named the Bay of Saint Lawrence.
15:42Uh, straight ahead, look, look!
15:47Oh, how wonderful...
15:48Oh, oh, oh, oh!
15:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
15:55Tchaouh!
15:57Tchaouh!
15:59Tchaouh!
16:05At your service, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
16:09Oh, how beautiful it is, how beautiful it is, how beautiful it is, very, very beautiful!
16:15Further upstream, where the river narrows, you will find the Sagané River.
16:19Then Canada, and even further up, Hochelaga.
16:22That's where the gold you're looking for is.
16:24And the passage to Cartay, towards the ocean.
16:26There is no passage.
16:27No.
16:34They have been stubbornly searching for this famous passage for days and days.
16:39The boys are right, this passage does not exist.
16:42Look over there.
16:53Our village. We are in Canada, our father's country.
16:59Stadakome. One day, it will be called Quebec.
17:02Yes, indeed. Ah, there we go.
17:31Let's get started, it's wild.
17:46The merillons, they are flat. With it, we will be able to go far up the river.
17:49Why do you want to leave? Why do you want to go to Hochelaga?
17:52Stay here with us. We are your friends.
17:55Over there, it's snow and ice.
17:56People are bad. You're going to die.
17:58Have no fear. Our Lord will protect us. Will you come with us?
18:03No.
18:04No, but you promised us and I am ready to give you a reward.
18:08No, no.
18:09Come aboard our boat. We'll be able to discuss it.
18:14No, no, no.
18:16Clearly, Jacques Cartier does not understand the Indians.
18:19They fear competition for their business.
18:22They learned to distrust him.
18:23He doesn't know how to reassure them.
18:27He doesn't know how to reassure them.
19:11One and a half breaststrokes deep!
19:12Throw away the ink. Do it quickly.
19:26Buy the train station.
19:27Buy the train station.
19:32Buy the train station.
19:33Buy the train station.
19:34Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:39Wow, what a reception!
19:42From now on, this hill will be called Port-Royal.
19:45Welcome.
19:58Our city.
20:22oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
20:27Oh.
20:28Oh.
20:46Listen, friend, hold on a sec.
21:08Farewell
21:12And here is the hill that will bear the name of Port-Royal
21:15It was in Hochilaga, now Montreal, that the exploration of the St. Lawrence River would come to an end.
21:21It's already mid-October, and Cartier is going to rejoin his companions who remained in Stanacomé, Quebec.
21:26Their conduct has not always been exemplary.
21:43Come on, hurry, hurry, we must be sheltered for the winter
21:54Your men use your fire sticks too often and they mistreat our subjects
22:11Come on, move forward, faster, come on, come on, I tell you, come on, hop, hop, hop
22:18Look, there's a case that's going in circles.
22:21Faster, faster
22:22You must obey me, I am your master, do you understand?
22:28Oh, I know she's going to be surprised
22:31You're guerrilla-edged
22:33No, it's starting, it's starting, it's starting, it's starting
22:37Ah, a star ending
22:46It looks like pepper powder
22:55Good morning, gentlemen.
23:03This winter has been terrible, terrible.
23:17There is no known cure for scurvy.
23:20You need to go see the Indians; their shamans should know. You should ask them.
23:27Decoctions of white cedar, that's the remedy, they say.
23:32The Indians were right, it's an excellent remedy, full of vitamin C.
23:36Here's a new remedy, who wants to try it, who wants to try it?
23:44Poisoner, son of a bitch, with your concoction
23:48I'm willing to try the remedy.
23:50Here, my boy, drink
24:00It worked, yes, it worked.
24:05It worked
24:16In the spring, we thought about returning to France
24:20We unfortunately lost 25 men
24:23We will have to abandon one of our boats here.
24:25Sorry
24:26Abandon one of our boats?
24:27We no longer have enough crew
24:29We would need guarantees to convince the king
24:44Come on, move forward.
24:59Have no fear, we will be back among you in a year.
25:10Not one of the captured Indian chiefs would ever see his country again.
25:12There would be a third trip a few years later.
25:15Under the command of a dubious character, Robert Wall
25:18The success will be mixed.
25:19Cartier will believe they are bringing back gold and diamonds this time.
25:22Which will turn out to be quartz or pyrite
25:24The very type of fake treasure that white men offered to the Indians
25:27Which will turn out to be quartz or pyrite
25:29America, franchisees are expected
25:34These are the Americas
25:37From the North to the Pacific
25:41These are the Americas
25:42Once Upon a Time in the Americas
25:45This is the story I told you.
25:49Once Upon a Time in the Americas
25:53Once Upon a Time in the Americas
25:54Once Upon a Time in the Americas
25:55Once Upon a Time in the Americas
25:55Once Upon a Time in the Americas
