The eye of Yann Arthus-Bertrand makes us discover this great country, with its rare cultural and natural wealth.

 

From north to south and west to east, the director shows us the daily life of a whole population, living in the 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, and in 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 forms, colours, faces and human footprints to create an exceptional portrait of the largest country on the African continent and the Mediterranean rim.
