On the mythical Congo River, Commander Aimé is at the helm of a gigantic wooden raft the size of a football field. With his men, he is trying to transport 220 tree trunks linked together by cables from Kisangani to Kinshasa. The raft is also the cheapest means of transport for the poorest who wish to reach the capital. On board, the danger is daily, injuries, sandbanks and storms do not spare the men. For those who take the tracks along the river, the conditions are no better. Without public transit, travelers have no choice but to board freight trucks for an epic journey.
