Anyone who looks only at the headlines misses the quiet sensation of the Central African Republic: a dense network of national parks and protected areas where some of Central Africa’s most pristine landscapes have been preserved. The official list comprises five national parks—flanked by game reserves, strictly protected nature reserves, and special zones. 

Between rainforest, granite steps, and spray lies one of the most striking places in the Central African Republic (CAR): Les Chutes de Boali. The waterfall on the Mbali River is not only a postcard motif but also lends its name to an energy complex that has powered Bangui since the 1950s.

“This Is The Central African Republic” takes viewers on a journey through a nation brimming with vibrancy. The camera captures the golden sun over wide savannas, the lively rhythm of bustling streets, and the joy of children laughing.
