== Background ==
During World War I, the young Marc Allégret became the lover and companion of the novelist André Gide. In 1925, Allégret graduated from the Sciences Po and then embarked on an African expedition with Gide. They stayed in French Equatorial Africa for ten months.〔Bowles (2013), p. 32-34〕 Allégret was tasked with recording their experiences in film and photographs. He had no formal training in either job, though he had received some lessons in photography by Man Ray.〔Bowles (2013), p. 32-34〕
The film is named after the defunct colony known as French Congo, which had been merged into the wider French Equatorial Africa. Gide preferred the older name and commemorated his own experiences in a book also called ''Travels in the Congo''. Allégret followed his example. The duo sailed from Bordeaux on 18 July 1925. Their first port in Africa was Dakar, which Gide found to be "gloomy", ugly, and lacking in exoticism. He found their next stop, Conakry, more pleasant. The duo left their ship in the port of Matadi, then followed a train route to Kinshasa, and finally reached Brazzaville on 14 August. They used it for a while as the base for their excursions. Allégret started filming in this area.〔Berliner (2002), p. 171〕〔Sheridan (1999), p. 401-402〕
The duo would soon sail on the Congo River. Their months-long expedition included travels through the Ubangi-Shari, Lake Chad, and the French Cameroons. They sailed from Africa on 14 May 1926.〔Berliner (2002), p. 171〕〔Sheridan (1999), p. 401-402〕
