Reinforcements from the Sky

The series

In Martigny, the operation takes shape between sky and ground. The rotor wash, the terrain, the equipment and the ground teams form a chain of actions in which each depends on the others. The series tells the story of this practical coordination, far from heroic imagery and as close as possible to the work itself.
