About the Screening
A powerful combination of investigative journalism and nature documentary, Virunga follows an embattled team of park rangers at Virunga National Park, home to the last of the planet’s last remaining mountain gorillas, as they work to fend off encroaching forces of industry, poaching, corruption and war. The film is the incredible true story of a group of courageous people risking their lives to build a better future in a part of Africa the world’s forgotten, and a gripping exposé of the realities of life in the Congo.
