Algerie from Above

An Algerian from France (narration by Jalil Lespert) speaks to a brother who remained in the country to tell what Algeria is today, filmed from the air by the famous photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The eye of Yann Arthus-Bertrand reveals this grandiose country, with its extremely rare cultural and natural riches. From north to south and from west to east, the director shows the daily life of an entire population, whether they live in bustling large coastal cities, the Atlas Mountains, the oases of the Sahara or the gentle hills. of the Sahel. Rich in a past where all civilizations seem to have crossed paths, and a territory where all natural environments seem to exist, Algeria appears here in all its diversity and unity. The director gives free rein to his fascination with shapes, colors, faces and human footprints to create an exceptional portrait of the largest country on the African continent and the Mediterranean rim.
