Vie de chantier(2018)

Vie de chantier is a documentary series that immerses viewers in the demanding world of industrial forestry over an eight-month season. The film follows a tight-knit team navigating the harsh realities of forest operations: emergency mechanics racing to fix broken equipment in remote conditions, cooks feeding hundreds of workers weekly in challenging circumstances, and truck drivers navigating treacherous routes while hauling massive timber loads across 200 kilometers to the nearest sawmill. Through intimate access to these essential workers, the series captures the coordination, resilience, and human effort required to sustain a large-scale forestry operation. Vie de chantier reveals the unglamorous backbone of the lumber industry, where every role—from mechanical repairs to meal preparation to transportation—proves critical to keeping operations running.
