Tap da sac'h
Tap da sac’h, (Grab your rucksack) refers to a song by Youenn Gwernig, a Breton Folk singer who lived in the U.S. In this eight-part series we follow Katell on her motorbike around colourful Colorado. From Denver, the place where Jack Keraouc wrote his famous novel On the Road, the capital city which is twinned with Brest, she rides out to visit splendid landscapes, ranging from high mountains with snow-capped peaks to desert regions. Katell discovers ancient Indian civilizations, she participates in excavations to find dinosaur bones, she visits an organic farm where she dicusses the effects of climate change, she takes part in a rodeo with real cowboys… Then she explores the Far West, the gold rush, with its trains spitting out black smoke into dream landscapes... Katell also meets Wayne MOCKERMAN, a Breton-speaking GI and discovers his astonishing and rich life as he guides her around Colorado.
