The Documentary That Sparked a Wine Empire
Maba Ba traveled to Senegal to produce a documentary about Mbeubeuss, a massive wasteland outside Dakar where entire families live and work among the trash.
As the transcript states: “It’s literally a city of trash… there are people who live in that city.”
The film aimed to highlight how global environmental reforms ignore the people whose livelihoods depend on this ecosystem.
The Unexpected Path to Flying Whale Wine
Before leaving for Senegal, a woman told Maba about a talented French winemaker.
After filming, he flew to Barcelona, drove to Perpignan, and met the winemaker in person.
Their connection was instant — shared language (both speak French), shared passion, and shared ambition.
Flying Whale Wine, born from a collaboration between Maba Ba and winemaker Didier Rodriguez, is rooted in the rich terroir of Roussillon at Domaine Sol Payre. Established in 1913, this family estate has cultivated its 56 hectares for over a century, guided by passion, tradition, and a deep respect for the land.
