The Family that Dared is the story of the Campe Family who sold everything they owned, built a boat and set off on an adventure none of them would forget. This might sound all too common but the family did it in 1977!
This is the 3rd of 12 episodes that Joachim Campe filmed. They were all shot on 16mm film and have not ben seen since airing on German TV in 1984.
Joachim, now 83 is very close to finishing another Circumnavigation aboard St Michel, the very same boat that the family sailed on four decades ago. His health has let him down and he is currently recuperating in Lombok, Indonesia and could use your support to get him sailing again.
Enjoi!

Thats my village Lelepa. My mum recalls that time. Thanks for the memories 🇼🇸🤍
So nice, glad you were able to watch it. Please share with others.
so interesting and we found the same happy people
I'm happy for you!
It‘s magic - what a life in harmony!
indeed
My home of Samoa 🇼🇸 thank you for the video❤️❤️
Great! Very happy you could see this video. Please share with friends.
This series is an absolute classic. Discovery Channel should do a now and then series based on the same journey. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
Yes, Joachim has recently done a very similar route, it would have been amazing to document that trip with him as he met some of the same family members in these places.
Just beautiful!!!!! What you said at the end of the video was exactly my thoughts going through my head through out the video. Love!
Wonderful!
Those beautiful songs, amazing singing, the connection with nature, those beautiful smiles... I can’t describe how deeply mesmerizes me. None of those guys need gym, what! I envy those muscles! Lol. Thank you Vernon! (Drugging fish was a plus! Lol)
Wow, thank you
These Samoa episodes were great. So well filmed, very ethnographic. Reminded me of my days back in the village in Morovo with the family. So much singing and laughter. The entire village participating in different duties. Never any whinging, just getting on with life. The Pacific has so much to teach us about how to appreciate the small things like family, food, ritual and ingenuity. Thanks again for these Vern and do pass on my regards to Joachim down in Lombok if you see him!. Tell him his journey left a true legacy in many ways
Thanks mate, Just had dinner with Joachim. He is doing very well, his boat is floating again, now all he needs is some crew to help him sail to Thailand.
@@SailingLearningByDoing wish I could crew for him.
Thank you again for sharing this with us. Many of us don't think about what sacrifice it takes to document your lives for we the masses. This series of videos would have taken so much more during that time to do. They are bitter sweet knowing we are reaching the end so quickly.
Well said!
WOW!!! What an incredible snapshot in time of Samoa. This is some amazing footage, it's the first in this series that I watched. We lived in Samoa for a year so it stood out for that reason. Amazing to see how little has changed in village life. Sure there are resorts and everyone has phones and cars but the family values, singing, dancing, catching fish and subsistence farming is all still so similar. So many laughs in this video, you still hear about the arrival of pololo worm weeks before as everyone gets so excited about it lol. And the insane hospitality and being welcomed into the family home, EXACTLY the same. It was probably one of the best years of our lives and funny that you mention at the end of the video, we were so content and didn't need any more material things in life.
Yeah thats awesome to hear guys, stoked you're watching these videos. watch all of them, its a pretty incredible series. I've had heaps of very very happy Samoans write to me saying they recognise people in the videos and how grateful they are etc. So rad.
@@SailingLearningByDoing we will def watch the rest. You realise you will have a Samoan following for life now ? I hope you get there one day, it really is a beautiful place from the people to the environment itself. A hidden gem in the pacific 🙌
@@sailingpopao yeah defo planing on going there in the coming years
Love this video. Dank u so much.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing. Simple life in Samoa without a lot of technology back then 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🙏🙏
these days too, less tech, more real smiles.
Beautiful
Thank you
Yes, mesmerizing. Difficult for us to comprehend that they were taken in, supported and integrated, some lessons in basic human behavior for us to ponder. Well produced. Im sure they wont forget the memories of their village. Probably changed some 40yrs later.
Yeah for sure. Joachim says it hasn't changed as much as the rest of the world.
It seems that Joachim knew what he considered important to film as a documentary. That was a lot of film for one place...and film is expensive and fundamentally difficult to use, store and eventually develop. A real accomplishment on all levels, not the least of which is to be granted the freedom to interrupt and even manage some of the shots so that all are in a single frame. Surely a reflection of the family and culture of this island to people of good will and openness. Just wish I knew what some of those dances represented....ideas abound as is usual!
Yeah he had a natural talent I think. Fro what he says he never posed or directed the shots, he waited for things to happen and yeah, burned a lot of film that was never used because of this. I'll ask him more about this in the interview.
@@SailingLearningByDoing The reason I thought composed was in this episode there were a group of elders in the visited village all in one side and the shot was from outside looking in. And last episode had the matai (I am terrible with names) looking out at the boat in the early morning...with the shot from behind...it could just be the voice over telling the story...don't want to assume what is not...
That was amazing footage. I bet that doesn't even exist like that now. what a voyager and thanks for your effort in translating. Have fun.
My pleasure!
da kann man nur sagen wow leider gibts diese Welt nicht mehr danke fürs teilen
Danke
I totally agree with your comments of this wonderfull episode Vernon. Of course the world had change a lot, but if we open our heart and our mind to people that we recognize as benevolent we will be able to experiment true and real human encounters. A good and a happy news to learn more about life and humanity. Thanks mate ! 🤙
Wise words Herve
Great video brotha 🤙🏾
Appreciate it
always so good💙
I bet some people in W Samoa would love to see these films after 40 years! There will be children in the films who are Matai now!
Yes Joachim said the same thing. I think it will happen as someone form the village there commented yesterday, granddaughter of Awamoto.
I knew Szymon couldn't be trusted!
It's always interesting to see how Germans / French / English /Australians etc ... travel or sail to remote parts. These videos give us an idea of how a special German family travelled. I really wonder what's become of the youngest one, Calyx. BTW, great job at translating both to French and English.
Calyxte is a very famous sculptor and artist.
This is Samoa culture and they should se this and see if any families recognize themselves or parents etc..
Yes I hope this video link will make it to Savaii so that they can see it.
you shifted my week - or not...
Yeah sorry, I' decided to release Sundays and Wednesdays till the end now.
@@SailingLearningByDoing nice!
23:00 And today many people won't even allow their kids/teens to go to the store alone almost.. :D :P Oh how the times have changed, but also how different cultures are.
come back and live in Samoa...
I will visit
Isn’t this the same episode as last week?
quite different, same island and family...
I thought so too until I watched it.
But It is not sunday ! Hey by the way it would be great that you conduct an interview with the kids all grown up now. Their view on the trip, how it impacted them, what they like what they dislike who they are now etc !
It would be very difficult to interview all the kids as they live all in different corners of the world now. I'm back in Lombok now and will be interviewing Joachim again tomorrow and asking him a lot of questions that you viewers have been asking. This video will be released at the end of the series.
@@SailingLearningByDoing I can't get enough of these videos! I'm curious as to what became of everyone as the years went on and mostly because something like that kind of childhood can really effect your view on life later on. Do any of the children still sail? I did the math on their ages in 1980 and the youngest would have been around my age then. I wonder if those villages still live the same way today or have they become more modern as technology evolved and came closer to them with cruisers becoming more common over the years. I can hardly wait to see the next video! thanks again
@@robertfreeman2322 I'll be asking Joachim many questions about his family and what happened to them all after the trip ended.
@@SailingLearningByDoing Love the videoas! Silvestre and Laetitia were easy to find with Google - and seem to lead very interesting lives. I couldn't find much about Bartholome, Calyxte and Marie, though. It will be interesting to hear what Joachim says in your interview.
@@cvs8545 Calyxte Campe does Marble carving and sculptures in bronze and lives in italy and switzerland. Based on his website he spends January in Brazil with his brother Silvestre
45:00 I think that the kids were lucky to begin with to not have to grow up with cell phones, social media, constantly being watched by big tech etc. If you wanted to know if your friend was home you ran over there to check. Then his mother maybe said "No he's out playing football at X place" then you ran there and looked..
Sometimes I think that today many boys and girls only think about "When is the next iPhone coming out" "When is the next Fifa / other game coming out? " "Can I have this, can I have that" ..
And I guess I speak from a point of "privilege" as I've had a computer as long as I can remember, even with being a millennial. We had almost every gaming console it felt like (I didn't get playstation though 😠)
I think I said it in another comment as well, but we take a lot of things for granted. Food in the fridge, always clean water on-demand, unlimited water on demand. Electricity in abundance on demand. Not gonna say I hate it, because I enjoy it.. But yeah.
Don't buy stuff you don't need.
True for sure. A big difference is though that in the west, every generation is totally different as things have been moving so fast the past 70-80 years. On these small islands life hasn't changed much in the past few hundred years.
