Working with the writer Emmanuel Dongala he animated the Théâtre de l’Éclair in Brazzaville.
He released his first feature film, the documentary Diogène à Brazzaville, a portrait of the Congolese writer Sony Labou Tansi.
[3] His first feature-length fiction film was Ramata (2007), a drama with the model Katoucha Niane in the title role.
It tells of a Senegalese woman who, aged 50, discovers the pleasures of the flesh in the arms of a little thug 25 years younger.
[2] Baker said he hesitated at first over choosing Katoucha as the lead due to her reputation and the fact that she was not an actress, but eventually accepted that she was right for the role.
