This shooting diary gives an account of the experience lived out by Thierry Michel and his crew in his desire to go up the course of the Congo River from its mouth to the source, a 4,371 km journey of which 1,750 are navigable. In order to give us an idea of it, he illustrates beforehand the unbelievable difficulties encountered in Kinshasa for getting all the required sesames: a few dozen authorisations and several hundred official signatures! When the day of the departure came, the crew went aboard a huge barge, a real Noah's Ark, a travelling village, for a journey of a totally undetermined duration, with the desire to share the daily life of the passengers in every respect.
