We make the epic journey from Kinshasha, capital of the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa), via Bandaka, Lisala, and Mbumba to Kisangani, the third-largest city in this vast country. The only way to move between the cities is by boat or plane. And I think it goes without saying, most people do not own or have access to a plane. So boat it is. We join 1500 people on board the 'Gbemani', sailing along the Congo River. Without freshwater, electricity, or medicines, it is a perilous voyage. A nurse, herself traveler on the boat, looks after her fellow passengers, even performing a terrifying operation to save a man's foot without an anesthetic. But amongst the trials and tribulations, come moments of joy, including the birth of a baby, named after the ship. Gbemani. An awe-inspiring journey. Enjoy! Available Worldwide #freedocumentary

The navigation chart is from 1950s and hasn’t been updated from Belgian colonial times. Whose fault is that? I’ve been to African countries volunteering and such, it’s tough to realise we literally can do little to change things. Now Africans all want to go to the western countries, rather than engage in the difficult task of building their own societies.

@@cannibalholocaust3015 colonialism is inherently a destructive system. It dismantled the old political, economic system that existed in the Congo valley and replaced it with one that is dependent on a central government far away sending administrators to organize commodity shipments. Education for the colonized was a threat to keeping power over them, so it was heavily discouraged. Thus when DRC (and many other African countries) became independent, the people with the necessary skills to organize the country left back to their home country and the colony was left with a heavily uneducated populace, an economic structure that was incredibly exploitative and hard on the people (Congolese rubber plantations being infamously inhumane).

And the reason why the ship couldn't leave was because the ship didn't have enough fuel and that the owner refused to bribe the fuel distributors, adding on top of that the 2000 passengers that didn't pay. It's a very frustrating situation for the owner, and I'm amazed he can still afford to run that ship with such cycle of corruption from both the fuel distributor and the passengers.

I think it’s really cool how they included parts of the culture from the villages near the river it’s interesting to show that and to learn about that

Congratulations FD you just made a 37 year old man shed tears.

Thank you 🙏

Kudos to the Nurse ❤️

This for me was so far the best doc you guys made!

Life is like that . As long the stomach has something and laughter , that is all we need . The rest will follow . Praise to God .

Every Sunday I'll come here and wait for this ❤️🙏

The way the narrator makes the warnings they're giving these new passengers sound so joyous and callous .

I have no words. Only the sons and daughters of Africa can save Africa. Study up. Stay strong. Do something impactful with your lives. Stop fighting amongst each other. Stop whining about racism, and stop fighting the White man, he's no longer the problem. Fight for Africa. Africa needs you all, desperately.

"Corruption handicaps just about every facet of life in the country..."

Was reading Heart of Darkness and Conrad really was a pilot of a steamer on the Congo. The Captain in the documentary was looking out for the same things as Conrad: stones, debris and the safest part of the river channel. Amazing film.

Extremely well done. All the various disciplines of film making are displayed with such professionalism. I appreciate all you folks do. A credit to your craft.

Watching these documentaries one should truly feel blessed !

Best documentary channel on entire internet

i have never missed any episode from this channel.....just addicted to this channel......Love free documentary and your team specially cameraman

I wish I had an aeroplane to transport these lovely people just in hours thank you for the documentary ❤️

Life is not same everywhere, hats off to the crew for this video and I liked the captian attitude 👍

Absolutely mind blowing I can’t believe what I saw

I can not continue watching this video- I feel blessed

what beautiful resilient tough people. I hope to meet some of you in this lifetime. Be blessed..xx

the joy everyone had when the baby was born. The people on boat so beautiful inside and out

Nice Documentary as always. Greetings from Macedonia!

Am watching this but my heart is reminding me that Congo is the king of music in Africa. It's where music originated and moved to the rest of the world. God blessed Congolese with a gift of music, best guitarist and drummers are born from there. Regardless of the state of the country.

This just great..salute to the captain nurse mechanics and free doc..💯

Despite all the poverty and troubles they be facing they are smiling and showing love to each other that's heartwarming

Wow I enjoyed every minute of this masterpiece, was sad that we had to leave them halfway.... praying for them

This channel never disappoints

What brilliant and remarkable set of people. The intellect and resilience they show here is astounding.

Astounding! The human spirit of the travellers is very impressive

For those who whine and complain about sitting in the middle seat on any flight, remember the images of this Congo journey.
