In eastern Congo, the World Heritage site Virunga National Park serves as the home and ostensible refuge for groups of endangered mountain gorillas. But years of civil war, poachers, tremendous instability in the region and the discovery of oil beneath the park have combined to threaten both the gorillas and the dedicated wildlife conservationists who fight to protect them. Q&A to follow with filmmakers Orlando von Einsiedel and Joanna Natasegara. Moderated by filmmaker AJ Schnack.
