00:00 From the first images, the director immerses us in hell. Waterspouts, crossroads and flooded villages, population drowned in torrential rain, overflowing sewers. We are in Liberia. Here every summer the rainy season is one of the strongest in the world. In a few days, a fatal rain aggravates the difficulties of this country ruined by a devastating civil war. A water avalanche ravages all the dirt roads. The villages are cut off from the world. • 05:50 On this route, drivers take winding and muddy paths for more than 300 km • 09:11 Liberian government tries to repair bridges and roads damaged by floods and civil wars • 10:58 To make concrete, the poorest make gravel, some are under 10 years old because they cannot afford to go to school • 15:35 Even sick children are subject to road hazards • 22:30 Because of the rain, the villages are totally flooded and the houses destroyed • 27:27 The downpour drowned the dirt track, preventing cars from circulating • 34:25 Agnès, one of the only shopkeepers in the city tries to sell her merchandise to a population too poor to buy it • 36:20 Liberian evangelists traffic indulgences by manipulating the population • 38:18 It is the palm oil industry that saved some inhabitants but by deforesting the country • Despite the state of the roads, FOFANA, a pick-up driver obsessed with money, decides to take penniless passengers to the other side of the country through the jungle. This trip against the natural elements quickly becomes a nightmare and reveals the terrible living conditions of the Liberians. With prodigious ingenuity, everyone tries as best they can to get out of it. The misfortune of the floods brings happiness to those who help the victims in exchange for a few cents. The pastors of a Baptist church transform the mass into a lucrative raffle... Soon the director reveals in this incredible film the dramatic reality of a bloodless country. Thousands of children are breaking stones from the age of 5 to rebuild the country . At the risk of their lives, the employees of a multinational palm oil company are transported to the plantation in overloaded cattle trucks. For a miserable salary, crushed by the sun which has finally returned, they plant thousands of palm trees on their confiscated and devastated land... • Director: Philippe Lafaix, Tony Casabianca
