Fixer Brazil is the full service producer that partened with Decoupages, from France, for the brazilian episode for “Peuples des Mers”, a Documentary Series for ARTE TV.

We did some location research and found the right place, Praia do Bonete, at Ilhabela, and the right fishermen to share their stories with the french crew from Decoupages.
