Plot

Nestled in the verdant heart of eastern Congo, Virunga National Park stands as a testament to the world's incredible biodiversity. Among its inhabitants are the majestic mountain gorillas, Earth's final survivors of their kind. In this untamed yet bewitching landscape, a dedicated team of park rangers fights to defend this UNESCO world heritage site. Their ranks encompass an ex-child soldier turned protector, a tender-hearted carer for orphaned gorillas, and a passionate Belgian conservationist. Their common enemy? The menacing armed militia, relentless poachers, and sinister entities vying for control of Congo's abundant natural wealth. However, the park's tranquillity is shattered in May 2012, when the newly emerged M23 rebel group ignites a war. With this fresh conflict, the lives of the park's defenders and the stability of the haven they've painstakingly preserved hang precariously in the balance. Witness their struggle in "Virunga" (2014), a stirring exploration of humanity's battle to safeguard the last vestiges of a threatened species, and in doing so, protect a portion of our planet's natural legacy.
