00:00 The Forest of Congo
00:06 3 million square kilometers, 6 times the area of France,
00:10 the second largest forested massif after the Amazon,
00:13 the Congo's Basin Forest is threatened.
00:16 Threatened by the exploitation of its soil, rich in ore,
00:19 threatened by the exploitation of its precious wood ores,
00:22 whose elongated shapes have been overhanging the canopy for hundreds of years,
00:27 threatened by the exploitation of the Jibie,
00:30 yet protected, which is the object of an incessant traffic.
00:34 This threat, curiously, is almost invisible.
00:41 Invisible because too many can be embraced at once,
00:46 too dispersed, on a territory too large.
00:55 Faced with this hole that is suffocating and collapsing, there is Eric.
00:59 Eric is a photographer.
01:01 He works in the ground, in the flowerbed,
01:04 in the fishy moat of the forest cover,
01:07 with those who live there.
01:10 And then there is me, who decided to follow him
01:18 because I did not understand how he was going to be able to face
01:21 the enormity of the task he was trying to accomplish.
01:24 How was he going to be able to make the images
01:27 that tell of the threat and the collapse that this colossus of greenery,
01:30 the Jibie, is facing?
